When making a Find By Id call (https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/{external_id}) for Dorcas Shola Fapson with nm6170422 (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6170422/), the result is empty. However, they exist on TMDB https://www.themoviedb.org/person/3128164-dorcas-shola-fapson.

Hi @mcolo,
That person does not have an IMDb ID added here: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/3128164-dorcas-shola-fapson/edit?active_nav_item=external_ids
The
/findmethod is only going to find data that has been saved here. Obviously if it hasn’t been added, we can’t return it.
