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!

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to select TV Shows based on their genre?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes, you use the /discover/tv method to search by genres. Check the docs for the full details.

What about TV shows that use a release date instead of season/episode, For example, "The Daily Show", is it possible to do an episode search by release date?

Hi Inmatrix,
You can use /discover/tv and the
air_date.gte/air_date.ltefilters to search for episodes by their air date. Is that what you are looking for?Respondo de Inmatrix

Hi Travis, No, this isn't what I meant, what I meant was something like: GET '/3/tv/:id/year/:year_number/month/:month_number/day/:day_number'
Where I specify a TV show's ID and a given air date and it will return the information.

Hi Inmatrix,
Ah, I see. No, it's unlikely we'll support this anytime soon. I'm not saying a firm no, but adding something like this would be very low priority when I have so many other things to do ;)

Hi jabedbhuiyan,
I might not be totally understanding the question but is this what you mean?
1418 being the ID of "The Big Band Theory" which you can get by doing a search:
Cheers.

@p3lim
It's the very next feature I'm working on :D Lists are getting torn down and completely rebuilt, the new lists will support both media types.
