The Movie Database Support
Support → API Support
I wanted to ask for some advice on a personal project I'm working on.
I've created a website that accesses the TMDB API to build a database of movies.
Currently, my collection has over 500 movies, but I'm finding that the API request is capping out at 500.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I could make an API request that doesn't have this limitation?
I would love to be able to continue building my database without any restrictions.
Thank you in advance for your help!

It makes the job of figuring out a solution to user problems a lot easier when we have the API Request in question.
It could be a TMDb error, or a Request error, or some temporary error.
Then ...
Problems with API Request
In order for someone to help you with API Request questions,
it is critical that you post here the API Request you are sending to the TMDb server.
Remember to replace your Key with MY_KEY , YOUR_KEY , THE_KEY , or something like that.
Not the programming code/script you used to build the API Request.
But the API Request that is sent to the TMDb server.
Or the API Request you would like to send.

The request I'm making is for a personal list I have made. Currently, it has ~625 movies.

I understood. A list you created here with over 500 items.
I believe only using the v4 version of API Request.

I believe that with v4 you can receive the complete list, unlimited in number of items.

I personally have never used v4. I never used TOKEN.
If you have questions about how it works, ask a question here on the forum.
