TMDB API DB Update time skedule
publicado por LucaZetaSTAFFMOD em 20 novembro 2023 às 5:08 AM
With the ever-current trend of increasing efficiency, I am trying to integrate cash mechanisms into the tools I use for TMDB queries. The temporal extension of the cache is currently 24 hours, so as to ideally have only one access per title per day. Are there times to refer to for updates from the DB that are useful to share or is the 24h period already considered optimal?

Hi @LucaZeta,
24 hours is fine. You may also be interested in tracking the changes, as to not make unnecessary requests.

I started to think you are a genius. Thanks to show me this way.

So, a little check. I acquire, for example, the information of a particular TMid movie. it modifies some variable, say the title. If I immediately reload the information from the API, I don't find any changes, but I ask about the changes of the last 24 hours I would expect to find, among others, my change. This happens, but not in a very short time, as happens to the site itself, which is able to update itself to the latest version a few seconds after the change. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal and API users have a certain delay in acquiring the latest changes?

The API caches data for ~8 hours. You will have to wait until the cache expires before you'll see the change.
