How often are titles updated in the API? (plus url generation)
posté par MaFtSTAFFMOD le 26 juin 2017 à 13h15
Example: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/430830-nobody-speak-hulk-hogan-gawker-and-trials-of-a-free-press
Shows a rating of 65%
But the api result from: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/tt6333064?api_key=XXXXXXXX&external_source=imdb_id shows 0.0 (i.e. 0%)
I'm new to the API hence the question - please don't take this as a criticism!
Also, is there an easy way to generate a URL to TMDb from the ID without having to log whether it's tv or movie? At the moment I would have to log at my end if it's a TV show or a movie and adjust the URL accordingly to https://www.themoviedb.org/[movie OR tv]/[the id] when I want to link back to TMDb

Hi @MaFt
The cache on that item will expire in about 4 hours. Most methods are only cached for around 6 hours. The data wasn't updated on the record the last time it got cached which is why it wasn't showing. It will update now.
No, there is not. The ids are not globally unique. All ID ranges start at 1 for movies, TV shows and people.

Thanks Travis. 6 hours is easily frequent enough for my use. I think each title in my database gets its ratings refreshed around every 18-22 hours.
As for the URLs I've just logged the format (tv/movie) alongside the ID in my database so I can easily create .../movie/1234 URL. Your site adds the extra text in the URL redirect so that's an easy solution on my part.

You got it, we'll redirect to the proper URL with just an ID. No worries there.
