Hi hugeburger,
I have plans on providing some ID files here at some point but until then, you can start at id 1 and iterate up until you get the last id provided by the
/movie/latestmethod.Reply by hugeburger

Thank's, For other that are interested here's how I'm getting ID, since my code is written in python I'm using a file named imdbpy, which returns the IMDB ID for a given person name, after that I'm using that ID with the find endpoint of the tmdb API, that way I can get more infos .
Thank's for the other method Travis, I might use that for the future .
