Movies, TV shows, and person objects in TMDB contain references to various file paths for images. To construct a complete image URL, you need three key components: a base URL, a file size, and a file path.
  • The base URL and available file sizes can be retrieved from the /configuration API.
  • The file path is specific to the media object you’re working with.
For example, if a movie’s poster_path is /1E5baAaEse26fej7uHcjOgEE2t2.jpg and you want the w500 size, the full image URL would be:
bash
https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/1E5baAaEse26fej7uHcjOgEE2t2.jpg  

Company and Network Logos Logos are available in SVG and PNG formats. However, all logo_path fields return a .png by default for backward compatibility. The file_type field in image methods indicates the original format of an uploaded asset.
  • SVG images should use the original size (/original/), as they are not resized.
  • PNG images can be retrieved in any available size.
  • For example, Netflix’s logo (wwemzKWzjKYJFfCeiB57q3r4Bcm.svg) can be accessed using:
bash
https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/wwemzKWzjKYJFfCeiB57q3r4Bcm.svg
