Hi Stephan,

To help me out here, can you give me an example of the query you would make and the expected response? I am not totally clear what you're looking for.

Thanks!

Hi Travis

Fo example, a user want to scrape a file like "the simpsons - 2010-05-02.mkv". This is also supported in Kodi and our software Ember Media Manager and very easy to scrape with TVDB. One API call give back the complete list of all episodes informations of a show and we can simply search the aired date in the episode list.

But with your API, i have to:

• call the tv show
  
• run trough each season and call GetTVSeason for each season to get the episodes list
  
• filter episode list by Aired date (and maybe call GetTVEpisode to get the informations with external_ids)

For my example "the simpsons - 2010-05-02.mkv" (it's season 21 episode 20) i have do 22 API calls (one for the tv show, 21 for each season from 1 to 21) to find the episode with aired date 2010-05-02.
It would save a lot of API calls, if we could directly search for the episode with tv show ID and episode aired date.

Do not understand me wrong, I will only reduce the API calls to a minimum ;-)

Ok, gotcha now. I wasn't clear on your desired way to query for the episode.

So, this is probably the first or second real use case of a /discover/tv/episode method (or episode search, I'm not entirely sure). I have a ticket to think about how this could work and the potential use cases for it here.

I'll have to give this some more thought.

Yes, my english is not the best and sometime a little be confused ;-)

But thank you, it will be great if you can add this query to your API.

Btw, is this the right place to tell you potential new ideas for the API or should i use the lighthouseapp/ticket page?
