How to get current season details of TV show with append to response
posted by jordancSTAFFMOD on January 25, 2018 at 5:10 AM
I am writing an application to find the latest episode of a list of shows, but I was wondering if there was a way to do this in one request.
Currently I:
- use 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/SHOW_ID' to find number of seasons, and then
- use https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/{show_id}/season/NUM_SEASONS' to find the latest show
Is there any way of using append to response to limit myself to one API call per show?

There is currently no way to do this with a single call but I do have an open ticket for next episode to air, last episode to air and a last air date.
I will update this post when it is complete.

Hi Travis, the ticket is opened since 2015, I'd like to add my voice to Jordan for such a feature (actually, for the next episode to air). thanks

Just an update, tickets #470 and #471 were completed this morning. These two tickets include adding a
last_episode_to_airandnext_episode_to_airfield to the TV series get details call. The documentation for the get details method can be found here.P.S. you might not see the updated responses on all TV series yet, as some items will still need to be expired from the cache.
