API for updating external IDs
posted by Mathew FoscariniSTAFFMOD on February 6, 2017 at 6:50 PM
Hi,
I've been pulling TV show schedules from TVMaze with success, and was wondering if you would like me to push back TVMaze IDs for TV shows. For with TVMaze lookup I have to do a search using one of the external IDs. So if I can publish the found IDs back to the database it would benefit others.
I looked in the API manual but couldn't find anything for pushing edits to the external IDs list.
Thanks,

Hi Mathew,
We don't have an API for something like this. I've usually shied away from API import methods because without a proper moderation flow, it would be too easy for users to add bad data.

I'll come back later and post a link to a CVS file that contains the mapping from TMDB IDs to TVMAZE IDs. Maybe you can use it or someone can benefit from it.

I am going to pair TMDB IDs with CSFD.cz. I can provide paired data to benefit others too.
