TV IDs

Is there a way to get the ID for a show or a master list I can pull from? Right now the only way I can think to get the information I need is to scrape the search for each TV show I need and then parse the ID out of the link information. There HAS to be a better way but I can't find an API endpoint that will return a show's ID or a list of show IDs anywhere...

Nevermind.. I found the query to get a show's ID:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?api_key=###&query=showname
Sorry for the unnecessary post!
Cheers!
