I ask this as according to the json I'm looking at when I get the response, I can only see a 'backdrop_path' or a 'poster_path' - But I cannot seem to figure out how to acces the image. I'm confused, do I need to make another API call passing in another param specifying poster?
The API url I am using at the moment is to just grab the first page of the popular movies - https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?language=en-US&page=1
Can anybody help clarify how I can then just get hold of the poster image related to each movie? I'm just looping through the response to grab the title, and overview currently.

When an API Request is made, in the responses received you will find the Path of the images:
poster_path or backdrop_path or profile_path or logo_path or still_path.
Something like that:
To access/download the image use the basic images URL.
The request should be similar to these:
https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/wigZBAmNrIhxp2FNGOROUAeHvdh.jpg
Make sure to read the documentation around images.
