Actual number of results less than expected

Hello!

I have one question regarding a specific query.

First, the following API call states that there are 4 results but only returns the JSON objects for 3. Is there a reason for this? https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/tv?first_air_date.lte=1940-12-31&first_air_date.gte=1940-01-01&api_key=[.......]

Is this a "feature" of the API? And if it is, is there a way to get all four of the tv series?

Thanks!

(EDIT: I've seen this happening with a number of API calls... can it be that TMDB ids are repeating?)

I'm aware of the root cause of this but am not clear on why it happens. Basically, deleted items get left behind in Elasticsearch but only sometimes. When building the lists we skip over items that don't exist but it creates an inconsistency with the pagination data ES returns.

Short version: this will get looked at but is a low priority at the moment.

Cheers.
