Get a single person's details

Source: R/people_summary.R
people_summary.Rd

Get a single person's details, like their various IDs. If extended is "full", there will also be biographical data if available, e.g. their birthday.

Usage

people_summary(id, extended = c("min", "full"))

Source

people_summary() wraps endpoint /people/:id.

Arguments

id

character(1): The ID of the item requested. Preferably the trakt ID (e.g. 1429). Other options are the trakt.tv slug (e.g. "the-wire") or imdb ID (e.g. "tt0306414"). Can also be of length greater than 1, in which case the function is called on all id values separately and the result is combined. See vignette("tRakt") for more details.

extended

character(1): Either "min" (API default) or "full". The latter returns more variables and should generally only be used if required. See vignette("tRakt") for more details.

Value

A tibble(). If the function has a limit parameter (defaulting to 10), this will be the (maximum) number of rows of the tibble. If there are no results (or the API is unreachable), an empty tibble() is returned.
