Hello,

I'm using "moviedb-promise": "^3.4.1", for integrating with TMDB API using Node.js. The popular movies as returned by the API seems to match what's shown on the TMDB website but the results are different for Popular TV Shows.

Following is the code for fetching the Popular Movies

export const getPopularMovies = async () => {
  const obj = await TMDB.moviePopular();
  return obj;
};

And below is the code for fetching the Popular TV Shows:

export const getPopularTvShows = async () => {
  const obj = await TMDB.tvPopular();
  return obj;
}

Not able to figure out why are the results different and what can I do to match the Popular TV shows as shows as shown on the TMDB Website.

Thanks in advance!

Read this description about these API Requests.

If I understand correctly it will not be the same answer, the same as the website.
I highlight this part:

There is no API to explore this data right now but it is something that would be a lot fun to dig into.
The daily file exports do however, contain the popularity data so there is a record of the values starting on April 28, 2017.
