In the past, Chinese names were usually edited under aliases. Is there any way to transfer Chinese names in aliases to the correct location in bulk through APIs now? Or can the TMDB administrator give me a temporary API interface that is only used to maintain actor data? Firstly, it is not to use APIs to cause trouble. Secondly, it is only to improve the actor metadata of the corresponding language. The above is from a webpage translation, and I am not sure if it clearly expresses my demands.

Hi @梦华录,
Unfortunately, we do not have an API that supports writing data. All edits on TMDB are done through the website, and the website only.

Okay, thank you! I will try to change my mindset and ask other friends who can write programs to simulate operations through tools like Selenium. Otherwise, all manual operations would be too troublesome.
The website does not prohibit the use of such tools (selenium), right? The premise is not to damage the overall database. However, as some actors may have multiple Chinese names, it is unclear whether the tool can choose the correct name.
