Fallback language?
Inlagt av RealityTestSTAFFMOD den 30 mars 2018 vid 8:35 AM
Hello, is it possible to set a fallback language when using the API? Sometimes movies don't have a description in some languages other than English. Is there a way to get the English description if the selected language doesn't have one?

Hi @RealityTest,
There's no system for this right now. Unfortunately, since the API is fairly heavily cached, supporting fallbacks is just not a realistic feature to build right now.
If I ever find more time to continue moving more of the API to our newer infrastructure which is cacheless, this will become a potential.

Ho @The_Unknown,
