Fidler on the Roof (1971) is returning empty cast and crew
posted by jdarSTAFFMOD on March 9, 2013 at 8:45 PM
When I search for the movie using id: 175627, It's returning an empty cast/crew array. {"id":175627,"cast":[],"crew":[]}
However when I search the website for the movie, it has cast/crew information. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/175627-fidler-on-the-roof/cast
Why is there the inconsistency?
Thanks, Gar

The API caches data for up to 48 hours. 175627 must have been called before the cast was added. Give it some time and it will purge and update.
