Hi, is there any way you can let me know the last person id till date? I've been iterating from id = 1 to 890,000 so far with many resource failures and some succesfull. I was just wondering uptil when I need to keep my script running. Because, I've seen persons all the way upto 1.5 Million as well. https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1034681-tye-sheridan as an example.
Thanks! John

Hi John,
Did you see /person/latest and /movie/latest? Or do you mean something else?

Hi travis, I've looked into those mthods before posting this. But for some reason the latest methods dont seem to give the last valid id ti scan for. As per the prrson latest in your Api, it says 1.1M but this person has an id with 1.2M! https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1267329-lupita-nyong-o
I'm pretty sure I ran across movies titles much more greater than thr latest id as per the API. Is this a bug or am i missing out something? Because, my end objective is find the last possible id on your db so that i can end my loop!

Hi John,
When I query the
/person/latestmethod I am getting1671054. You might want to double check you're querying the latest methods properly ;)Keep in mind the number will be constantly changing but that should at least put you in the vicinity.

I'm extremely sorry for this error. I was querying the latest method from apiory and it showed it as 320K. Sorry for the trouble.
