Storing data
posted by natlaidSTAFFMOD on December 28, 2012 at 2:37 PM
Hello!
In the beginning sorry for my English. I'm creating movie recommender based on TMDb and I have one problem, because I need to store data, but in license is:
Cache any TMDb metadata or photos other than for reasonable periods in order to provide your service.
But I need to store data for longer time, because I need to have connections between films, persons, genres. I have one other option. I can save just IDs, but it is impractical for me in future.
So I have one question: What is reasonable period?
Thanks for answer.

Generally speaking, it's whatever is needed for your application. You can cache data locally, that is not a problem. We actually encourage it. The main thing this item deals with is the fact that you acknowledge that the data is never yours and we're simply granting you permission to use it.
Thanks for checking in about this, we appreciate it.
