TV Show API not working with IMDb ID
posted by pimp4003STAFFMOD on 2014 Qańtar 18 at 4:14 AM
Hi, I'm trying to get the TV show info by IMDd ID just like movies by using
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/tt0773262?api_key=xxxxxxx
but, I get following error everytime
{"status_code":6,"status_message":"Invalid id - The pre-requisite id is invalid or not found"}
What am I doing wrong?

Hi pimp4003,
This method of looking up an ID has never been officially supported. That's why it's not documented, even though it does work for movies. It is not ever planned to work on anything else.
In order to find an object by IMDB Id, use the /find method, then do a lookup with it's ID.
Cheers.
