Hi, I want to explore some movies which they are added to tmdb after 2016-01-01. I'm not talking about release date. It should be add date to themoviedb.org

Oooo, this request is not really possible given the current deployed version of APIs.
Only thing I can really say about it is that assuming you're are trying to re-sync a previous import kind of thing, knowing the id you last left off on, you can continue iterating up until you get to the id found with the /movie/latest method.
If you didn't have a previous import and are wondering what the id is, the very first id created on January 1st was 375234.

You're right I'm using API for my local hosted internal app and I want to re-sync my app.
Can movies, person or series added to themoviedb.org as "TASK"? If it is possible I can not fetch or iterate them. My loops will pass hidden (task) records.
2016's first id is 375234 as you say. What is the first ID for all time? Thanks for your help :)

You can do whatever your heart desires ;) We don't impose any kind of limitation like that.
All of our ids are continuous and started at 1. So you can always start at a number (375234, or 1) and be safe to iterate up.
