Hi there,
Only the root URL redirects. An example ID export URL looks like this:
http://files.tmdb.org/p/exports/person_ids_07_16_2018.json.gz
Keep in mind, just as the documentation states, "These are not, nor intended to be full data exports." They are just ID exports.
Cheers.

Hey Travis, this URL (http://files.tmdb.org/) gives me an error from FireFox and Chrome (and doesn't work from Edge either). Am I doing something wrong or is it broken? The "AccessDenied" makes me think I'm not allowed, but I thought I saw a note that the files aren't secured ... Thanks in advance, Mark
Here what I get (copy/paste):
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Sorry to bother you Travis. I think I figured it out. I was thinking I'd be able to BROWSE to the list of files, but if I type in a full URL (files.tmdb.org/p/exports/movie_ids_01_19_2024.json.gz for example), it works! Obviously ignore the prior comment. Thanks for your efforts on this site. I like it!!! Mark
