Well, I guess the title asks my question; Is this normal behaviour ? It's causing duplicate entries on my app ... You can test it with:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming?api_key=?????&page=8
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming?api_key=?????&page=9

HI ricardo.costa.dev,
This would be caused by the pages being cached at different times and then being requested during the nightly re-index. You'll have to wait for the page to expire.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply, Travis. Forgive my ignorance but how do I do that ? I mean, how do I avoid that with code ?

No worries. There won't be a way to request pages that aren't cached…
One way to avoid displaying a duplicate movie ID would be to keep track of the ids you've displayed and skip ones you have already shown. An easy way I can think of off the top of my head would be to store the ids in an array to keep track of ones that have been shown. Every time you grab a new page, you do a subtraction to kick out any of the ids that have already been displayed.
Cheers.

Thanks, man. I was wandering if there was a way to do it with the API, but as you said, comparing each new movie with the previous ones seem to be the only option.
