The Movie Database Support

I'm getting different result than the IMDB website for movie and tv lists (like popular movies). The result showing on the TMDB website is one and the result i am getting from API is another one. How should i get the original result like in the website?

It's not possible.
The parameters for defining the Popularity value can be seen here.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/popularity-and-trending
The value changes throughout the day.
The database is updated once a day.
It is stated on the page:

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.

So yes, the website will probably have more current information than the API Request.
