Discrepancy between cast on themoviedb site and in API
posted by theduvernaytest.orgSTAFFMOD on March 3, 2018 at 10:39 PM
For some reason there are some discrepancies between the site and the API, for instance cast for Star Trek: Discovery (2017) doesn't have Sonequa Martin-Green in API on first position but she is on first position on the page https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/67198-star-trek-discovery. Is it because of delay in data update or just because cast sorting in API isn't exactly the same as on the site?

The order is the same in API and Site.
I suppose it's a delay.
I think this update is done 4 times a day.
Therefore it can take up to 6 hours.
A moderator can confirm.

Well, I'm monitoring it for at least 2-3 days and the order is different. And this isn't the only show, I think the same situation with https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/61056-how-to-get-away-with-murder and may be a few more.
