Search movie by title
posted by octiviaSTAFFMOD on August 15, 2018 at 1:42 PM
how can we search a movie by it's title ?
Ex. https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=the+avengers if we use the this url then it will give the all the movies that have the avenger name in it's title.
The problem is, I just want the specific movie so that i can set the description,ratings and others values. Will someone suggest me how can we do this ?

Hi @octivia,
You have the first half correct. You would do a search. Then, with a list of IDs in hand, if you want to get the full information of a record, you could need to iterate over the results and query the ids one by one. This process is outlined in our documentation here.
Hope that helps.
