Try this

const apiKey = 'your api key';
const movieId = 100;

/**
* Fetch movie data from themoviedb.org
* @param {number} id Movie id
* @return {object} Movie object
*/
async function fetchMovie(id) {
const response = await fetch(`https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/${id}?api_key=${apiKey}`);
const movie = await response.json();
return movie;
}

fetchMovie(movieId).then(movie => {
movie.genres.forEach(genre => {
console.log("genre id: " + genre.id + ", genre name: " + genre.name); // output genre and id
})
});
