'last updated' value for images/text of movies

For things like backdrop_path , overview and poster_path I would like to request accompanying fields that shows when it was last updated of when a new image was last uploaded. I try to maintain my site friendly for all audiences, and thus have to filter out the 0.5% of the images that could be considered unsuitable. Having a field like 'poster_timestamp' would help me seperate new images from the ones I have already checked. I know there are several ways to automatically compare date from images and I'm using some of them already, but timestamps from uploads would help too. Especially if those timestamps were already saved in the api database and could be made available retroactively for all movies.

I'm not sure if adding a new field to every response makes sense but what I can imagine is extending the functionality of the movie change method to be queryable by key. That way you could check for image only changes in a specific time frame.
You can still use the change methods right now to find out when new images were uploaded (or deleted) but we don't track rating changes which is how an image is selected as the "primary image" so I'm not totally sure that would every be possible. Maybe, maybe not. Just not sure it warrants the extra work. I've gone ahead and created a new ticket for this.
