I was just wondering if there was an easy way to find the tmdb id of a movie, using the api. I want to pass in the name of my movie and then get the tmdb id of the movie, not sure if there is a functionality like that in the api. Or is the only way to get the tmdb id of a movie is by using an external identifier, eg. imdb id?
Thanks

Well, you can search for your movie title using Search.
Filtering by years will give you a more accurate answer.
Once you find the movie, there will be the TMDb ID of your movie.
For example:
Barry Lyndon (1975)
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/3175-barry-lyndon
In the response we have the TMDb ID 3175
