The Movie Database Support

On TVDB, they have something called "slug" which is the textual indentifier used in the URLs on their website.

For example, in this url, the bolded part is the "slug"... https://thetvdb.com/series/star-trek-enterprise

This value can be retrieved for a specific tv series as part of their API.

Is there a similar thing for TMDB?

For example, if just have the movie id of 199, how can I retrieve the bolded part of the url... https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/199-**star-trek-first-contact**

I could just HTTP HEAD request to https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/199 and parse it out of the redirect's Location header, but was hoping there was something a bit more official in the TMDB API for this?
