SERIES/TV API: Get Episode Number and Info by Episode Name?
posté par mojodoSTAFFMOD le 20 février 2018 à 06h26
Hey, it would be nice to get the Episode number and season number by the episode name.
Basically I am using your API to scrape over recorded tv shows with this existing api method:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/{tv_id}/season/{season_number}/episode/{episode_number}?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
But to get the information, I need to know the season and episode number beforehand. I thought it would be nice if i could get the episode Information without the exact season and episode number, but just with the series and the episodes title...
For example Homeland (TMDB ID: 1407) Season 7 Episode 1: is Enemy of the State
With the current api:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1407/season/7/episode/1?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
I think it would be great if something like
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/{tv_id}/{episode_title}?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
in this example
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1407/Enemy%20of%20the%20State?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=en-US
would have the same output... Is or would something like this be possible? What do you think?

I don't think we'd ever support a lookup by name but, you can kind of do this on your own already. If you call the /season/{season_number} method, you get a list of all episodes with their names. You can then match that locally to know which episode query to make.

Great, I didn't know that was possible.
