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 = "min")

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: Level of detail for the API response.

  • "min" (default): Minimal info (title, year, IDs). Omits the extended query param.

  • "full": Complete info including overview, ratings, runtime, etc.

  • "images": Minimal info plus image URLs (returned as a list-column).

  • "full,images": Complete info plus images.

  • "metadata": Collection endpoints only; adds video/audio metadata.

Multiple values can be combined as a comma-separated string (e.g. "full,images") or a character vector (e.g. c("full", "images")).

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.
