  title: The Movie Database API
  description: >-
    Welcome to the third version of The Movie Database (TMDB) API. Our API
    provides you with vast access to a range of movies, TV shows, actor
    information, and images.


    With the TMDB API, you can easily integrate any of these functionalities in

    description: >-
      There is version 4 (v4) for our list API. It contains several advanced
      improvements that differentiate it from the version 3 (v3) list. Although
      v3 lists will continue to work, you can only access these features if you
      switch to v4 lists.


      Some of the new improvements you can access on v4 lists include:


      - You can Import "unlimited" items in a single request
          
      - You can use mixed-type (movie and TV) lists
          
      - You can use private lists
          
      - You can add and use comments per item
          
      - There are more sort options
          
      - They are faster
          

      Check the v4 [documentation
      ](https://developer.themoviedb.org/v4/docs/getting-started) for more
      information.
