How long does it takes to find a movie with a new alternative title?

I'm wonder that a new "language" titel could find instantly but when I add a alternative title it takes hours. But is there a defined delay? or is this a caching problem? My website works with our db and I add a lot of unknown movies but I need a faster result for the alternate titels.

Hi mazleu,
It depends what methods you're calling.
/3/searchis not cached so you'll see any new data reflected instantly./3/movie/*is cached for ~6 hours so depending when the original request was made, you'll have to wait up to 6 hours for the item to be purged.Cheers.

I use /3/search/movie or /3/search/tv. So it shoud not be cached right? But it is with the alternative name. I also try it in the apiary console with the same result. Alternative titels cant be find for hours after you add it.

Hi mazleu,
That is correct, no cache. I'm not sure, I just added a test title to Jason Bourne as a test and became available instantly (see here).
