Hi Travis,

1) Will this link http://files.tmdb.org/p/exports/movie_ids_04_28_2017.json.gz always give me the most updated version containing the latest added movies?

2) When a new movie is added in the file, is it always added at the end of the file or might it be added anywhere in the file?

Thanks :)

Yes it's just a single id. What I was saying is that in a 24 hour period let's say ~170 movies get created. And by checking the latest at the same time every day you can built a simple tool to stay in sync:

  • March 31 - 515323
  • April 1 - 515493
  • April 2 - 515663

You know on April 2 that you only need to start at id 515493 and iterate up to 515663 to get check the newly created items. Iterating over 170 items a night is not very much.

Maybe you could include new movies in the /movie/changes API?
