missing data
Inlagt av cavemanSTAFFMOD den 26 september 2013 vid 8:09 AM
I queried 'back to the future' and got the id for the principal. i ran a 'credits' query for him expecting his credits to include 'Top Gun' (which he was in) and it wasn't there. I queried 'Top Gun' and he's not listed there, either.
Should I contact someone there as I find these things while I'm developing my app?

Hi caveman,
Who is missing?
TMDb is an open and freely editable database. If someone is missing you should go on to our website and add that person. No one else will except for people like you.

Hey - it was James Tolkan - the cantankerous squadron leader who reluctantly sends goose and maverick to top gun. his character was 'stinger'
I added to the DB just now.

Great.
P.S. The API caches data for 24 hours so depending when the original request was requested, you will likely still have to wait a bit before seeing the change live on the API.
Cheers.
