Movie details API for the latest movie returns 404 error
posted by letterboxdSTAFFMOD on August 27, 2013 at 6:33 PM
When I submit a request for the latest movie: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/latest?api_key=#{API}", I get back a movie as expected. Currently it's "Rewind" and has an ID of 217341.
I take that ID and plug it into the movie details API: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/217341?api_key=#{API}, and I get a 404 error.
Is this intended behaviour? Is there an alternative API for new movies, or is it a case of waiting for the cache to discover them?

Hey Matthew,
There's a few little issues worth mentioning. The first is discussed here: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/51ec5a00760ee31fca0c4ea8
The second is around collections. If the latest I'd happened to be changed to s collection, that id will also 404.
The first will be fixed when I get time to look at what the caching issue is. The second one is a much simpler fix that I just need to look at one day.

Thanks Travis. Sorry about the duplicate. I searched for 404 before I created the post, but didn't notice that ticket...
BTW - It's Grant Berridge posting here. Matthew and I share this account for Letterboxd specific stuff. I wouldn't want you to think that Matthew can't use search properly :-)
