Hi, just a little confused on how the daily export files work for obtaining data on popularity. I saw in the popularity docs that: "There is no API to explore this data right now but it is something that would be a lot fun to dig into. The daily file exports do however, contain the popularity data so there is a record of the values starting on April 28, 2017."
I tried checking out the daily file exports and every time I tried using the URL:
https://files.tmdb.org/p/exports/movie_ids_05_15_2024.json.gz
I get a request denied. I tried adjusting for today or this week but to no avail. I assume I'm just doing something wrong so I'd love to know what. My goal is to collect these daily exports for the popularity values from the beginning date onward. How can I access these? Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi @reesesaddict,
Files are only available for approx. 90 days, so indeed, a file from May would fail.
I am not seeing any issues with todays export: https://files.tmdb.org/p/exports/movie_ids_01_07_2025.json.gz
