Discrepancies Between TMDb and Watchmode Titles for Specific IDs
posté par BeshiSTAFFMOD le 15 janvier 2025 à 09h23
Hello,
I am currently experiencing an issue with the TMDb API. When I use TMDb IDs retrieved from the Watchmode API to fetch detailed information about movies or TV shows, I notice that the titles returned by TMDb do not always match those provided by Watchmode.
Here are a few specific examples:
TMDb ID 81292: The title provided by Watchmode is "Title Messiah" but TMDb returns "Cosmic Collisions" Could you please confirm if these IDs are correctly associated with the corresponding media in your database? Are there known cases where titles might differ due to regional settings or multiple versions (remakes, adaptations, etc.)? If so, what would be the best practices to handle these discrepancies?
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @Beshi,
I'm not sure what app you referring to (Watchmode?) but whatever app it is, it's not accommodating for the fact of the separate movie and TV namespaces. The info for that ID is different depending on whether you're looking for a movie, or a TV show:
You'll have to report this to the developer of the app you're using so they can fix it.
Thanks.

It’s for a personal application I’m developing. I sent an almost identical message to Watchmode’s support team, and they gave me the same answer as you. I haven’t had the chance to try it yet, but I’m confident it’s the right solution. Thank you very much for your help!

Ids are only unique in a single category, which means that you can have a movie with Id 81292 and a TV series with Id 81292. In the case of this specific value "Cosmic Collision" is the movie associated with this Id and "Messiah" is the series associated with this Id. On our API there are different methods to fetch details depending if you are talking of movies or series.
There can also be many titles associated with an Id due to language and/or versions.

The list of IDs are separate, different.
For example, ID 500:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/500-reservoir-dogs
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/500-mad-about-you
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/500-tom-cruise
https://www.themoviedb.org/network/500
https://www.themoviedb.org/company/500
You can discern the difference between each media type
by looking at the
media_typefield returned with each object.
