Download the entire TMDB database

Hello, I know this is a related question, but maybe something has changed in 2023. I'm building an app, and I need a movie database, but not just movies – also casting (which means a person database from TMDB), etc. Currently, I'm making API calls to TMDB, but it's not the most optimized approach for me. I really want to have an internal database to establish relations with my data.
So my question is, is it possible to download the entire TMDB database? I mean, IMDB currently allows us to download their database, so maybe TMDB does too? Creating a script to scrape the entire TMDB API is probably not the best idea, for both me and TMDB, and it's very time-consuming.
Thanks for your help, Loup

Hi @loupqhc,
No, we do not provide a way to do this. And neither does IMDb except for personal use, so be careful what you're doing there. If you're building "an app" it's very unlikely that you are able to use IMDb without licensing their content.
We do provide our daily ID exports, which can be helpful to knowing what data exists, but that's all they are intended for.

Thx for your help ! I would go for TMDB (because is open source and really like their system) but querying all information with api is pretty long, but if the only way im gonna do it
. Also I was wondering if there is a way to have the tmdb database schema ? If caching all the TMDB in my database I need the exact same schema to be easier to manage updates... (im also a beginner developper so I dont wanna make something wrong in my schema).
thx again !
