handling lists - clear function / multiple add
posted by digitaldesasterSTAFFMOD on February 23, 2014 at 5:12 AM
Hi, i am working on an iPad app based on this great database and i am using lists for "now on cinema" and "top 10 cinema". for example her is the list for the movies that are "now" playing in german cinemas. http://www.themoviedb.org/list/52fa99b79251411d1b1c4977
i am using this list in my app. so it is necessary that the list id is always the same.
the list ist created via a script, so i do a lookup on google to fetch the movie titles and than the script searches themoviedb (Title and Year).
at the moment the script works like this.
- one api call to fetch the list
- multiple api calls to remove every item from the list (in my example 38)
- multiple api calls to add the new movies.
so i think it would be great to have a function "clear list" and add multiple items.
best regards Alex

Hi Alex,
I've created a new ticket for this here. I'll consider it in the future. Thanks.

Hi Alex,
I'm guessing you're seeing status code 29 (a 400 response).
confirm=trueshould be a HTTP param, not a POST body.Cheers.
