Where do we find information about movies, TV shows/series, seasons, and episodes, api-wise. As opposed to snapshot dumps.
- The Movie Database
- https://api.themovieddb.org/[tmdbid]
- Using the stale but huuuge data set of a million movies, I've identified a large number have been deleted from TMDB. Interesting. Were they not movies?
- Fascinating what you learn when you actually do: Many attributes have been deleted for movies online. Must be Run DMC.
- I get 504 eventually after running day and night. Just needs to restart.
- I'm waiting between hits 250 ms. I ran it with 0 delay and it went fine, but it seemed rude. It was running at ~130 ms, which includes the slow updating of my database with new attributes. Is Saturday a better day than weekdays?
- Apparently these are all through AWS. You have to be careful when horsing around with AWS; Amazon will permanently delete your email account if you pause 90 days after losing interest.
- Interest derives from it's claim of 9 million entries.
- Api works. Free version allows 50 per request, and a total of 500,000 requests per month.
