The Movie Database Support

Hello, I'm making an app that allows its' users to receive recommendation for movies to watch. I'm using https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=&include_adult=false&include_video=false&language=pl-PL&page=1&sort_by=popularity.desc. And everything works fine, however I get 20 movies and it clutters the page.

  1. Is there a way to limit the movies taken from the api to let's say 5?
  2. Another thing is is there a way to get genre shown as a word? I'm getting Genre: 878, 12 for example or is it an issue with my deserialization?
  3. Also, if you have a better method to get recommendations shown on a page I'd be glad because it's supposed to be an app that helps people who don't know what to watch on a lazy day and I'm getting recommended movies that are being shown in cinema atm. An url would be helpful. :) Thank you!

The Api will always return pages of 20 results. But, you can code your application to only use the first 5 answers.

There are no direct means. You need to use this method to get the correspondance table for movies, or this one for series.
