Endpoint for Indexed Tv Shows and Movies

Hi,
Do we have an endpoint which provides the index of shows and movies?
Rather than having them as gz files do we have an endpoint which gives the same result(raw) rather than downloading and extraction the information from files.
Thanks, bT

Hi there,
Unfortunately no, the only web service we provide is the full API (getting and searching for details and the like by ids and titles), and then the only downloadable files are the ID exports.

There are no plans at this time, no.
I am curious though, how were you thinking you would want that to work?

Something like, all the id's group by with needful information.
{ "data": [ { "id": 123, "title": "ABC", "lastUpdatedAt": "2017-01-31:09:10:12.101" }, { "id": 456, "title": "XYZ", "lastUpdatedAt": "2017-01-31:09:10:12.101" } ] }

This can be cached as it wouldn't be updated for every 24 hrs. The only reason is need to include a whole new component for downloading the files extracting the json files and reading the data.
Thanks, bT.

Ok, so you're just thinking a big list of ids. Got it. Ya, there are no plans right now but we'll see.
