Changes in Popularity / Vote count values
Inlagt av raman.prasanthSTAFFMOD den 6 januari 2021 vid 12:44 AM
Hi, When there are any updates to the popularity / vote_count / vote_average values for a Movie, then those changes will be displayed as part of the changes api response available at "https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/movies/get-movie-changes" ?? OR Changes API will capture the updates happened on limited set of fields and not on all fields ?
Does this behavior apply for TV Series and Persons also ?
Kindly clarify.

Votes and popularity are not tracked as changes, only field data changes are. This is the same behaviour for all items on TMDb.
Depending what you're looking for, one of the key purposes of the daily ID exports is to provide popularity updates. But if you're trying to track votes over time, you'll have to fetch that data manually.

Thanks Travis. That clarifies. But out of curiosity, can I get the list of field(s) under Movies, TV and Persons that are not tracked under changes api ? This will help us to think through other possible approaches to update values for those fields that aren't tracked under changes api.
Thanks in Advance.

Hey @raman.prasanth, I don't have a list of the data you're looking for. You'll just have to see what you're interested in using and see.

So suppose if the vote average, Popularity, or reviews for instance of a movie and TV show changes then it will be updated automatically in our API?? and data will be changed at our website where we used the API? Or do we need to update them manually?
Kindly clarify at the earliest...
