TV API Preview
Inlagt av Travis BellSTAFFMOD den 24 oktober 2013 vid 2:15 PM
Hey guys,
I know a lot of you have been waiting for this so here it is, the TV API.
We currently have 17 methods available:
GET '/3/tv/:id'
GET '/3/tv/:id/credits'
GET '/3/tv/:id/external_ids'
GET '/3/tv/:id/images'
GET '/3/tv/:id/translations'
GET '/3/tv/:id/season/:season_number'
GET '/3/tv/:id/season/:season_number/credits'
GET '/3/tv/:id/season/:season_number/external_ids'
GET '/3/tv/:id/season/:season_number/images'
GET '/3/tv/:id/season/:season_number/episode/:episode_number'
GET '/3/tv/:id/season/:season_number/episode/:episode_number/credits'
GET '/3/tv/:id/season/:season_number/episode/:episode_number/external_ids'
GET '/3/tv/:id/season/:season_number/episode/:episode_number/images'
GET '/3/tv/on_the_air'
GET '/3/tv/top_rated'
GET '/3/tv/popular'
GET '/3/search/tv'
GET '/3/discover/tv'
And 3 new person credit methods to support TV and external IDs:
GET '/3/person/:id/movie_credits'
GET '/3/person/:id/tv_credits'
GET '/3/person/:id/combined_credits'
GET '/3/person/:id/external_ids'
And also new credit, find and network namespace:
GET '/3/credit/:id'
GET '/3/find/:id'
GET '/3/network/:id'
Functionality wise, they work almost identical to movies or the way you expect things to work on v3. The most notable thing missing right now is getting to the TV credits from the person side of things. I'll be working on that this week.
Understandably, this is a preview release and should be considered a risk. Some data could change depending on the feedback I get and if you roll this out publicly you are assuming that risk. I don't expect it to be like this for long, maybe a few weeks. I'll let everyone know when the design is final.
Now go ahead everyone, test!

Any chance to have a deeper control on the
tv/{id}/similar/method? It would be cool to have similar filters as those available for thediscovermethod. At the moment a ton of shows are associated to the specified one, so it really defeats the purpose of finding really similar shows.Svar från Razze

It would really help if we could also find by tvdb ids At the moment if your working with trakt its like, search for the tvdb id and get the tmdb id then find with the tmdb id

Sorry, I was under the wrong impression, that you can also query the movie endpoint with a imdb id. Forget it ;)
Any chance for DVD orders for tv shows in the api?

I have an open ticket to think about that but as it stands right now we don't even have that data stored.
Until it gets looked at, everything on TMDb is assumed to be air date orders.

Would be nice to include seasons into the search/tv method. Ex: searching for games of thrones will return, global games of thrones + games of thrones s01, games of thrones s02, .. With season_number or similar in the reply of the appropriate results

Hi danasu23,
I'm not sure what you mean:
Is what a valid request looks like.

You'll have to elaborate. Sounds like an issue with whatever language/parser you are using.

That's not a valid query.
Would be what you're looking for.

Could you help me format a query that gets you the poster image for a tv show, I have tried different ways and I can't seem to get it right. I have extracted the "poster_path" from the JSON but I don't know where it goes.
Thank you in advance!!
