How long does it take an added movie to show up using the API?

Yesterday I added the movie "The Book of Daniel" and it doesn't seem to be found by the API. Is there an approval period or did I not add the movie correctly?
thanks

API responses are cached for 24 hours so depending on when an ID or search query was first requested, you likely won't see the new entry (or changes to existing entries) for up to 24 hours.

Thanks for the info, I looked and couldn't find that documented and thought I was going crazy.
PS: It hasn't been 24 hours yet.
