Axuda de The Movie Database

Hi,

We are working on a school project to collect movie data, and our team consists of five members. We’ve read several articles about request limits and potential issues, but we’d like to confirm our understanding of the following points:

  1. It’s safe to make up to 50 (suggest fewer) requests per second.
  2. It’s safe to have up to 20 (suggest fewer) connections per IP address. -> Since we only have five members, this should not be an issue for us.

Additionally, we’d like to check if there are any specific daily limits. For instance, we estimate that we may need to request data for 3,000 or more movie IDs. Thank you so much for your help!

we found an article in 2023 for daily limits If it's still the same?

There is no daily maximum, no.

There are limits for the WEB interface. There are no limits for API requests.

For instance, we estimate that we may need to request data for 3,000 or more movie IDs.
Thank you so much for your help!

I am not aware if these parameters have been changed.
I'm not really sure but maybe it was reduced from 50 to 40 RPS.
Otherwise I believe it was valid..

Of course, if a DDoS attack is carried out, the system will certainly react and change the limits.

Thank you for the detailed information! We will use API requests :)

when i do some number of requests, tmdb has a delay per request SO LONG its like a 5 min delay as of 2025

It may be a localized problem.
With your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or your country.
Check this page to see how much delay your connection is experiencing.
