changes for rating?
posted by MichaelSTAFFMOD on desember 30, 2015 at 12:27 PM
is there any way to daily fetch changes in raiting?
at the moment I would have to run thru all (today 211) pages of /movie/top_rated every day, to check if the value has changed?
whould be great to have something like (for movie and tv)
/changes/rating/movie?start_date=20150101&end_date=20150102&api_key=#
which delivers id vote_average vote_count which have been changed in that specific timeframe.
thx, michael

Hi Michael,
It's unlikely I will ever create something like this. Aside from just released movies, this data doesn't change that much so you probably don't need daily updates. You could figure out some basic rules like if a movie release date is < 7 days, check it daily but > 7 days switch it to weekly or something. Just an idea, but it would cut down on the number of requests you need to make.
Cheers.
