Hi, Thank you for the wonderful API. I really enjoyed the movie API. As per documentation I simply made API call like: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/tt1074638?api_key=### and I got the result. I have also tried for the TV series with TV series IMDb id ( e.g tt0108977) and call the API like: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/tt0108977?api_key=##### but couldn't get the result. It returned {"status_code":6,"status_message":"Invalid id - The pre-requisite id is invalid or not found"}. Can you please guide me how to make API call for the TV series ? Thank you.

Hi Semantic,
That way of getting movie data is not documented and is not officially supported and will never be supported on TV.
The proper way to use an external ID and lookup an item is to use the /find method and then make a regular call with the id.

Thank you very much for your reply. I have got some important TV series data using your mentioned URL. I have also tried to get cast information and made API call like this: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/tt0108977/credits?api_key=####&external_source=imdb_id , but couldn't get the data. Actually, I want to get TV series data like Genres, rating, actor/actress, director, producer etc. Is it possible to obtain all this information ? Can you please provide some API call URL example to get such a data? It will be great full for me with your help. Thank you for your help.

Hi Semantic,
Please make sure to read the documentation. You cannot get full information from the find method. You would make a call to the find method to get the ID, and then issue a TV call:
Cheers.
