The Movie Database Support

Hi, I am new to this API and I have a question about the response I get when using the "Release Dates" endpoint for movies.

I am interested in the initial release date of movies on streaming services. In other words, I want to know the date that a movie was uploaded to a given streaming service for the first time.

I understand that an API call using the "Release Dates" endpoint may contain the type "Digital" in its response along with a corresponding date indicating the day that the movie was released on a digital platform.

What happens when a movie is uploaded for the first time, leaves the service, and then re-uploaded for the second time later on? Does the date that corresponds with “Digital” indicate the date of the second upload? In that case, how can I find the date of the first upload?

The date is supposed to be the one from the first release. The second one may also eventually have been added.

Just what I wanted! Thank you!
