Problem with find method
posted by shulerSTAFFMOD on January 12, 2015 at 4:44 AM
Hello!
I'm trying to use method "find" by imdb_id, and there is strange that there is no result for very popular tv show Heroes
I use API like this: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/find/tt0802147?external_source=imdb_id&api_key=
And I get empty response for this imdb_id, but this method works fine with other ids, e.g tt2249364
Can you help me? Thanks a lot!

Hi shuler,
The IMDB ID that we have on file for Heroes is: tt0813715
If this is incorrect, you're free to make an edit to fix it. Keep in mind that once edits happen on the website, you will have to wait ~6 hours for the cache on the API to expire.
Cheers.
