Duplicates on trending and other pages
Inlagt av joopANDcoSTAFFMOD den 7 mars 2023 vid 3:58 PM
Quite annoying, there are duplicates on many pages. Or so it seems on my end.
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/tv/week?api_key=***&page=6
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/tv/week?api_key=***&page=7
Murdaugh Murders - is at the bottom of page 6, and first of page 7. There are many of these when I do an API request. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? I see them also on popular, top rated for both movies and tvshows. To clarify, I see Murdaugh duplicates. with Id : 218530
after looking into it more I notice more:
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/movie/day?api_key=***&page=3
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/movie/day?api_key=***&page=4
movie id : 929614 & movie id : 705996 & 597 all on page 3 and 4

I added a filter in my code to filter duplicates. But I am still wondering if this is expected behaviour ?
thanks in advance, J

I'm also seeing duplicates in the trending API call between pages. Anyone know if this fix is in the backlog?

There isn't really anything to "fix" per se, this is about when the data refreshes and what data was already cached. Each request can be cached in multiple places (CDN and at the origin) so depending when things expire and you grab the fresh page, the order might be different by then.

Okay thanks for the update. I will filter duplicates on the front-end.
