Im trying to create a random movie generator and im trying to use " https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id}" with movie ids but i guess some of random ids didnt attach to the movies (for example 1234 didn't return any data) so that's why i cant generate a random id for my query how can i solve this ?
Can't find a movie or TV show? Login to create it.
Want to rate or add this item to a list?
Not a member?

There are IDs of deleted items.
This movie ID 1234 is one of them.
It might solve your problem if you access the list of valid IDs.

The rule for writing the date is MM_DD_YYYY.
So you asked for data from May 15, 2023.
I believe the System stores a maximum of 90 days.
There may be a variation of a few days more or less.
Therefore, the oldest today, November 17, 2023, would be asking for the date September 17, 2023.
That is 09_17_2023.
