You need to use the TMDB Id of the series. not the IMDB Id.

We don't have awards data. Age ratings are available using this call for TV series and this one for movies.

Thanks for your reply ! You are saying that I can use the IMDB ID for movies but not for series ? That's a bit strange. But now, how do I get the TMDB ID of the series from the imdb URL ? Up until now all of my API calls are based off of the imdb URLs from which I extract the imdb ID. Shame for the awards data. For the age ratings, I am not sure I understand. I just tested it now and I get this :

{"id":40719,"results":[{"iso_3166_1":"DE","release_dates":[{"certification":"12","descriptors":[],"iso_639_1":"","note":"","release_date":"1950-08-24T00:00:00.000Z","type":3}]},{"iso_3166_1":"US","release_dates":[{"certification":"NR","descriptors":[],"iso_639_1":"","note":"","release_date":"1943-12-06T00:00:00.000Z","type":3}]}]}

Using this API request : https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/tt0036038/release_dates?api_key=MyAPI The "12" certification means CSA rating of 12+ ?

You should normally always use the TMDB Id. The fact the the IMDB Id is directly working for movies is only a remainder of an old API version and is not documented. Nothing guarantee that this will always work.

This is a per country and release date value. For this movie, we only have release data for Germany and United States. The certification "12" is part of the German data. That mean that it was released for 12 and plus in Germany. We don't have data for France for this movie.

Ok I understand thanks ! One question remains though : how to get TMDB Id from an IMDB movie or TV show ?

The simple method is to directly use the TMDB website instead of the IMDB website. I don't understant why you start from IMDB.

Because the imdb website is waaaaay more used and known than the TMDB website. My clients are used to inserting IMDB links of their movies in their database. It was very convenient for me to simply get that link, that ID and then use the TMDB API to get all of the information. Now I will have to ask my clients to search for the movie or TV show on another website they don't know. Plus some movies or TV show might exist in IMDB but not in TMDB. But I guess there is no way around it.
