Null values being returned in changes API
posted by heyoniSTAFFMOD on 2018 Aqpan 25 at 1:11 PM
Hey, this issue doesn't break anything for me but wanted to bring it to your attention that the changes API is returning null values for some an id and a null value for the adult field.
Here is the offending URL minus the API key: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/changes?api_key=APIKEY&language=en-US&append_to_response=alternative_titles,content_ratings,credits,external_ids,images&include_image_language=en,null&start_date=2018-02-22&page=5&end_date=2018-02-25
And just in case it changes, I've pasted the results in a gist
My other question is, any idea why the results would be different when running the above URL without an end_date? Does this mean it's not including results from 2-25 if I use that end_date?
Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @heyoni,
With regards to the
idbeingnull, not sure. That shouldn't happen. I'll have to take a look. With regards toadultbeingnull, yes, that means the record has been deleted. That is by design.The default query without a specified
end_dateuses the current time. There's a 10 minute cache on the change methods it seems to me, so anywhere between the current time and 10 minutes ago.P.S. the change methods don't support any of those extra params you're using so there's not much point in passing them in

Whoops, you're right about those flags!
Found another one here: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/changes?api_key=APIKEY&start_date=2018-02-24&page=8&end_date=2018-02-26
Is it helpful if I keep reporting new instances of this? Let me know!

Hi, @travisbell ! We also get null in id field. Check several pages after 92 http://api.themoviedb.org:80/3/movie/changes?page=92&start_date=2018-03-07&api_key=xxx

Hi @horse315,
nullitems can appear in the changes feeds from time to time. That is a different issue than @heyoni's credit id issue.The null items in the change feeds can be ignored.

Is it a bug? Coz it violates spesc changes/get-movie-change-list . Unlike the
adultfield,idis not marked as or nullTravis Bell jaýaby

Technically it's a bug yes but it's a low priority item for me to fix. It's an issue that is created when the item is deleted and not specific to the actual change lists.
