TV shows and TV episodes - couldn't get data via GET method
posted by Adarsh8STAFFMOD on July 6, 2021 at 3:22 PM
When using the GET request method to fetch data of a TV show / TV episode using imdb id (TV get details) I am getting a status_code : "34".
Output:
{"success":false,"status_code":34,"status_message":"The resource you requested could not be found."}.
Do look into this bug/error?

Hi @Adarsh8, what's an example request that is returning the 404?

Hi,
For get-tv-details when I query using "IMDB id of TV show" (path params) then its returning 404 (status code:34).
Whereas for get-movie-details when I query using "IMDB id of movie" (path params) then I am getting results with no error (response code:200).
So for tv shows and episodes can I have query by "IMDB id" similar to get-movie-details

Ah, gotcha. Unfortunately, we do not officially support this is a way to query ID's. This is why even the movie way is not documented in our API docs. If you want to find items by their external ids, you should use
/find.
