I see a thread from 2013 mentioning this, but it doesn't look like it was ever implemented.
Is there a way to get a content score through the API? All the data I want to retrieve about a movie is static, and it would make sense to store it locally after I look it up, but it doesn't make sense to use low content score data for a prolonged period. But if it's a high score, it doesn't make sense to re-query every time for what should be static data.

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but...
In the response to a movie details API Request,
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/movie-details
you find the following values:
Furthermore, in the daily export of valid IDs,
https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/daily-id-exports
will find the popularity value.

Popularity is a different measure about how often an entry is viewed/voted on/discussed.
Content score is an indication of how complete/confident(?) tmdb is about the data it has for an entry. Go to a movie page and youโll see the content score. Established, popular movies will have a content score of 100. If itโs a small or upcoming movie, where the details may not be accurate (and are more likely to change in the future), it will have a much lower content score.

Hi @AmateurSimian,
The content score is not available via the API, at the moment it's a feature designed for editors on the website.
We do have an open ticket to think what it could mean to add to the API here. Simply adding it wouldn't yield much of an improvement to the workflow you describe. For that to be more efficient we'd need a way to filter or query by it. Probably something like maybe a discover filter. Anywho, you can watch/vote for that ticket. This helps us prioritize what we work on.
Thanks!
