Hi! I'm a hobbyist developer, and I wished to create an sqlite database of my own, but as I went adding the data manually searching in themoviedb website, I think it would be easier to use the API to fetch the information automatically. However, I read in the terms of use that caching information for longer than 6 months is not allowed. My question is, is what I want to do possible? Fetching data from the API for storage?
Also, important to add, this database is for my own usage as I don't wish to add all movies in the database, just the ones I have physically in my home.
Can't find a movie or TV show? Login to create it.

I believe that this 6-month limit is for APPs or Websites that use TMDb data.
I believe that for private use, not available on the internet, the same applies as for users of Kodi, Plex, etc...
They have PlugIns to search for data for private collections.
As well as specialized scraping programs, media managers.
For example, MediaElch, FileBot, tinyMediaManager, Ember Media Manager, etc...
Although if you are interested in keeping the data updated, it is better to do periodic scraping.
