Configuration & Search API questions
posted by trashr0xSTAFFMOD on oktobris 8, 2016 at 8:02 PM
Hey guys,
A couple of questions regarding the API:
- You mention that we should call the Configuration API every once in a while to make sure we have the latest settings in place. What does that translate to in terms of time? Daily? Weekly? EDIT: I noticed this was answered in another thread, apologies! :)
- With regards to the image settings in the Configuration API, can sizes (or number of sizes) change? Right now, for example, I get 6 image sizes for posters. Will it always be 6 images? Will a returned size (such as
w154) always exist? - Is there a way to return IMDb ids for each movie/show in the Search API responses? I know
append_to_responsedoesn't work on that endpoint, but was wondering if there's another solution I might have missed.
Thanks!

Hey trashr0x,
No worries.
New sizes have been added but I've never removed any. Once a size gets added and used publicly, it's pretty much going to always be there.
No there is not. The only place they get returned right now is the primary info method (movies) and the external ids method for TV shows. I have some cool ideas about what I might be able to accomplish in the new v4 API I am working on and this might be possible in the future but probably won't ever be possible in v3.
Cheers.
