Wsparcie The Movie Database

I am using popular movies request (/3/movie/popular) with pages (/3/movie/popular?page=1, /3/movie/popular?page=2 etc.) and API returns same movies on different pages.

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?language=en-US&page=1' \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer  TOKEN' \
     --header 'accept: application/json'

Response ends with

{
  "page": 1,
  "results": [
    .... SOME MOVIES HERE ...
    {
      "adult": false,
      "backdrop_path": "/i1Lx1Whonfh8awXkYx3bGinK2V8.jpg",

Is this behaviour ok for API or I missed something in documentation?

The data in the backend is refreshed once a day but during the refresh period there can be calls to any page number. If that page isn't in the cache yet, it will get cached which means that pages can be cached with either new or old results.

We make no guarantees of this not happening, and you should not treat every page as containing unique items that haven't been returned before it.

I'd like to get a number of movie info for my academical research, but find that only 500 pages can be loaded, which are far less than my demand. If it would be possible to load more data?

If you need more than 10000 movies (500 pages), you should use the Daily export file.

Thanks a lot. I have already solved the issue~
