Lagging in updates for latest movies
posted by Rohan STAFFMOD on September 11, 2013 at 1:25 AM
I am using Url movies search for my app in IOS domain. My question is that how much time the themoviesdb server takes to updates latest movies. For example I was searching Planes, We're the Millers movies before two weeks it was not showing but the movies are posted in other source as IMDB but when I was searching in this week i am getting the response. When is the exact periodic upgrade happens? Is its takes time for updates?

What query on the API are you making? The upcoming call?
The list itself is refreshed every 24 hours and shows movies from the next 3 weeks starting on Wednesday of next week. The now playing is the same but in reverse, showing the last 3 weeks worth of movies starting every Wednesday.

Hi Travis,
Thanks for responding. I am extremely sorry for using words like weeks in my message, I apologise for that. It doesn't mean that your api takes much time for updates. And the query i was using as follows https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=&query=planes. For now it is working fine but if above mention condition occurs again I will let you now.

Pages (and actual requests) are cached for 24 hours so that is the only lag you would ever see when doing a search.
