The Movie Database Support

I found this entry:

{'adult': False,
 'backdrop_path': None,
 'genre_ids': ['Drama'],
 'id': 830366,
 'original_language': 'ru',
 'original_title': 'Thoughts in the forest',
 'overview': 'A man comes to an isolated forest to confront his troubled relationship with his girlfriend and brother.',
 'popularity': 0.6,
 'poster_path': '/nM7Gajs2mQxykQdFIE8sj4Md5Vn.jpg',
 'release_date': '2021-05-04',
 'title': 'Thoughts in the forest',
 'video': False,
 'vote_average': 10,
 'vote_count': 1}

where the genre_ids is not an integer. This messes up my code, as I have to keep adding exceptions and checking that the fields are what they are expected to be. Is there a regular maintenance of the MTDB database to guarantee that the fields contain the correct type of data? Thanks

That looks like something client side as a number of the values you have in your response are not values that we return on the API. For example:

'adult': False,
'backdrop_path': None,
'genre_ids': ['Drama'],
'video': False,
'vote_average': 10,

We don't return False, None integers for vote_average, or an array of string genres.

I used the discover movie end:

https://api.themoviedb.org/4/discover/movie?api_key=MYAPIKEY&language=en-US&sort_by=popularity.desc&include_adult=false&include_video=false&page=<ALLPAGES>&with_original_language=ru&with_watch_monetization_types=flatrate

I don't remember the page number, though.
