Hi, I'm trying to make a script that helps me update the translation on TV show/seasons/episodes
I'm able to fetch data via the API of the show and the episodes but when I try to upload the translation data back to thdb I get
"success": false,
"status_code": 34,
"status_message": "The resource you requested could not be found."
is that option not available via API ?
this is the part of the code that try to update the data
import requests
import json
url = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/{TV_ID}/episode/{EP_ID}/translations"
payload = {
"iso_639_1": "he",
"iso_3166_1": "IL",
"name": translated_name,
"overview": translated_text
}
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer API key'
}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

I don't quite understand your problem.
Do you want to update the data that is on your computer?
Or do you want to update the data that is in the TMDb Database?
Anyway
Problems with API Request
In order for someone to help you with API Request questions,
it is critical that you post here the API Request you are sending to the TMDb server.
Remember to replace your Key with MY_KEY , YOUR_KEY , THE_KEY , or something like that.
Not the programming code/script you used to build the API Request.
But the API Request that is sent to the TMDb server.
Or the API Request you would like to send.

Ok, I'm trying to do is : The script pulls from TMDB via the API the episode summary in English and then I translate it after that it needs to be sent back to the TMDB via the API to the same episode in Hebrew. The error that I get is when I try to send it back to TMDB via the API and update the data that is in the TMDb Database. On the first message, I attached the URL and the payload that sent it back to the TMDB

It's not possible.
Any data change, for example a summary or overview, can only be made through the Website interface.
