Hi. I've been looking at the movie methods and trying to make sure I implement all the calls for each method.
According to the documentation, some of the movie methods can accept an "append_to_response" parameter, but they don't seem to append the responses.
Is this a documentation error or am I missing something.
Also, could you enumerate the movie, TV and people append to response values to avoid ambiguity?

Hi Stuart,
You won't be able to call
append_to_response
from a sub method. I would do the following to get what you're after:Could you elaborate what you mean by this? I'm not positive I understand the question :D
Cheers!

Ok, so the docs perhaps want updating, because it reads like the sub methods can have an append_to_response as a parameter, rather than, what I assume you mean, is that they can be an appended response.
What I meant by the enumerated list, is to define the list of movie, tv and people methods that can be appended to the base method. I currently have:
Movies - alternative_titles, changes, credits, images, keywords, lists, releases, reviews, similar, translations, videos
TV - alternative_titles, changes, content_ratings, credits, external_ids, images, keywords, similar, translations, videos
People - changes, combined_credits, external_ids, images, movie_credits, tagged_images, tv_credits
These just need to be listed somewhere to help people.

I, too, would like to use the append to responses to any movie method, such as the now playing request, so that I don't have to get the movie id for each movie and call separate appends. This would be faster and take fewer requests to your server. Also, if I use the separate requiests it puts me over the 40 limit and it could be avoided. Thanks!

We do not have plans to support an
append_to_response
type option for our featured list pages, only top level media objects.It should be noted that we did add 3 new fields to our featured list pages which could help. The
genre_ids
,original_language
andoverview
are now part of these media object responses.
