But without the API knowing the ID, how does the correct data get selected? Surely there must be some kind of unique key for that to happen? The ID is set by the API, I don't have control over it, I can't modify it, and I don't really need to modify it. There is an option to search the API using the name, like so ( http://private-anon-37abaab74-themoviedb.apiary-mock.com/3/search/person?query=Will%20Smith ). Of course in the "user side" of the things I will ask for names, let's say. The person wants to know all the movies that Will Smith played in. Of course I won't ask the user for his ID (that is 287) because they wouldn't know, the user will simply type his name. And my code will call this part of the API to get the ID of the person, and then create a new Actor using 'actor = Actor(287)'. The same goes for Movie and Series related stuff, I just modify the "/person?" to "/movie?" or "/tv?". _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
