Hello Everyone. I've just noticed using API and querying Popular that there are two records with the same ID. Always if did everything right way and if I didn't miss something. "id": 1057001, ... "title": "The Childe", or 1057001-the-childe in the online version. Can someone check please? Thanks in advance. Kind regards.
"id": 1057001, "original_language": "ko", "original_title": "The Childe", "overview": "Desperate to secure funds for his mother's surgery, an amateur boxer searches for the wealthy father he's never met. Traveling from the Philippines to Korea, he is relentlessly pursued and forced to confront a shocking truth.", "popularity": 395.375, "poster_path": "/ydC8ubFXQfkPJDhkduMhbE9mTz7.jpg", "release_date": "2023-06-21", "title": "The Childe", ...
Appeared on the 2nd and on the 3rd page in Popular. So the queries are:
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?page=2 (right after "id": 1142414, ... "title": "Cheat")
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?page=3 (right after "id": 1022789, ... "title": "Inside Out 2")

Hi @dreadnaut,
Depending on when data was being refreshed in the backend, and when those pages were cached, items might not always be unique across pages. This is a known limitation and something you can code against by keeping track of items and skipping items that you've "already seen".

Hi Travis. Thanks for reply. No problem for me at all with this "issue / not issue". There is no more double records now. Actually I see just one and only unique record for the movie in subject. Thanks again! Bye.
