According to the documentation for the daily ID exports, "There is currently no authentication on these files since they are not very useful unless you're a user of our service." However, for https://files.tmdb.org/p/exports/movie_ids_08_02_2024.json.gz I just got back a response which says "Access Denied." What's going on? What does "access denied" mean, in the absence of authentication requirements?

"access denied"
This is the default response when the file is not yet available.
Since you requested the file for today's date, it is likely that when you requested it the file had not yet been generated.
There may have been a system or programming error.
It may have been due to the time you requested it.
I read this information on the DOCs page:
https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/daily-id-exports
But now the file is available.

You don't recognize how silly this error message is? I don't know how Portuguese works, but in English "access denied" and "file not found" mean two completely different things. This is a bit like a shopkeeper saying, "You're forbidden to buy bananas in this store," when what (s)he really means is "I'm sorry, we've run out of bananas, and our next shipment hasn't come in yet. Please come back later." š
