Show index with more information like: cast and seasons

aardwortel wrote 6 years ago: 1

Hi there,

I want to use the show index to get a large list of all the tv shows.. like this: http://api.tvmaze.com/shows?page=1
But i want more information included.. like seasons and the cast.. I tried it like this: http://api.tvmaze.com/shows?page=1?embed[]=seasons&embed[]=cast

But can't get it to work.. is this possible?

Nope, it's not possible.

It would take too much resources to allow that for an endpoint that lists all of the shows.

What you would need to do is get the information you require from the other endpoints, using the id's you've already retrieved.

Depending on your application, I'd suggest getting the information when someone navigates to the page, then save it to a database so that you can use that in the future.
