On the website, it's possible to see the main show cast, per season, for example:
https://www.tvmaze.com/seasons/24060/american-crime-story-season-1
https://www.tvmaze.com/seasons/60141/american-crime-story-season-2
Is it possible to get the same data through the API?
Ideally, this can simply be a field in the https://api.tvmaze.com/shows/2029/cast endpoint in the character object (along with id, name, url and image).
Or maybe this info can already be obtained in some other way?
Cheers!
David - any thoughts on this?
If with "is it possible" you mean whether there's a hidden endpoint for this, then no. The API documentation at https://www.tvmaze.com/api lists all of the endpoints that are available in the free/public API :)
If you mean to ask for this as a feature request, we can look into it if there's sufficient demand.
Well yeah, it's a feature request, but I also wasn't 100% positive I'm not missing something that was already there ... :)
It would be good to be able to do this via episode as well, as well as getting the cast per episode.
I presume that the best way would be to embed this in the call to an episode, or season? For example https://api.tvmaze.com/episodes/40420?embed=crew&embed=cast
Definitely looking for a way to get the cast of a particular episode. The cast and the guest stars and the crew, too.
