Extended Info

By default, all methods will return minimal info for movies, shows, episodes, people, and users. Minimal info is typically all you need to match locally cached items and includes the title, year, and ids.

However, you can request different extended levels of information by adding ?extended={level} to the URL. Send a comma separated string to get multiple types of extended info.

Extended responses can return a lot of extra data, so please only use extended parameters if you actually need them!

LevelDescription
fullComplete info for an item. Includes images when available.
imagesCompatibility option for endpoints that still document or support image-only expansion. Going forward, this will have no difference from full for image inclusion.
full,imagesCompatibility option for older endpoint behavior. Prefer full unless an endpoint specifically documents otherwise.
minA lower-level of minimal info where supported.
metadataCollection only. Additional video and audio info.
