Duplicate ID
posted by matkapSTAFFMOD on March 16, 2021 at 12:10 PM
Hi, There have the same ID's (85271 / 1429 / 1402 / 95057 / 60735 .....) when I request from
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/all/week?api_key=<<api_key>>&language=de
I encountered this problem.
85271 = WandaVision / Popolvár najväčší na svete
1429 => Attack on Titan / 25th Hour
1402 =>walking dead / The Pursuit of Happyness
95057 =>Superman and Lois / Dire Straits: Wembley Does The Walk
60735 => The Flash / The Moomin Characters
These are what I can see on the first page.

They are not duplicated. One is Film. The other is TV Show.
See my ready answer for these cases.
Yes, the IDs are unique. There are no two Movies with the same ID.
But there may be a TV Show with the same Movie ID. Or a person.
The list of IDs are separate, different.
For example, ID 500:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/500-reservoir-dogs
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/500-mad-about-you
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/500-tom-cruise
https://www.themoviedb.org/network/500
https://www.themoviedb.org/company/500

@matkap You can discern the difference between each media type by looking at the
media_typefield returned with each object.Reply by matkap
