Is it possible to query a season directly by id?

I'm making use of the following endpoint ``` GET /tv/{tv_id}/season/{season_number}
and using the returned season's _id within my application.
However, is an API endpoint exposed for accessing a single season via that identifier directly?
If not, should I not be relying on that season id? Perhaps it's just for TMDB's use internally?
Thanks!

Hi @rex.suter, the only use for season ID's is for the change logs. Since seasons can be deleted, by using an ID, you can go back and see the correct change history for a particular entry.
For presentation purposes, you really only need the season number, or a combination of series/season/episode. Season ID's only come into play for the changes.

Thanks @travisbell - I will use (or ignore) the season ID accordingly!
Appreciate the response
