The Movie Database Support

I just want to know if the Popularity value can be updated when the Changes call is made through the API for each entity.

Hi @buenan,

I'm not sure if I understand the question. Can you explain what you're wondering a bit more?

Okay, sorry, I'm going to explain. I would like to know if the (Double) Popularity attribute of Movies, Series and People is updated when I call their respective changes. For example, if a Movie is listed on this endpoint https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/changes, I would make a call to its details to update everything, even if there are fields that haven't changed. What I want to know is if Popularity is considered a change so that the Movie that has changed the popularity is within this list, so that I can update the popularity field of each Movie that has changed by calling its details if it appears in the list of Changes.

Hi @buenan,

Gotcha. No, changes in popularity are not tracked through the change system. Popularity is a value that is updated every 24 hours.

Okay thank you, understood, so there is no way to export somehow those popularity changes? for example if i call this endpoint -> https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/movie/{time_window}, all the movies that has been updated the popularity will be there, or just the 2000 movies? I use the time window for a day or a week and i have the same total results. Thanks a lot.

Nope, there is not.

The best thing you can do is use our daily ID exports (which contain the popularity scores) and process the data that way.

Perfect, thanks.
