The Movie Database Support

Hello - thanks for the work/support of this API, it's been working well for me for almost a year. However, recently (past couple of days) I'm seeing intermittent failures for "movie add rating", "movie delete rating", "add to watchlist" and "delete from watchlist". I'd say 4 in 5 requests fail. For other APIs I have not observed any issues.

The failed "delete from watchlist" requests returns 404 and data:

{"success":false,"status_code":34,"status_message":"The resource you requested could not be found."}

The successful "delete from watchlist" delete requests returns data:

{"success":true,"status_code":13,"status_message":"The item/record was deleted successfully."}

I can reproduce the intermittent failures using the same user and movie id (i.e. it's the exact same curl command run that fails four times in a row and works at the fifth call). Example:

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/nnnnnnnn/watchlist \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer nnnnnnnn' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "media_type": "movie",
  "media_id": 470,
  "watchlist": false
}

Any ideas?

Note: I'm currently not doing any automatic retries for this, and I also have rate limiting in my code (although I'm not near any rate limit when I see this issue).

Hi guys,

This is a weird one. I'll investigate...

Since slightly before this message post the issues went away for me too, and been all good since. I didn't get a chance to reply here earlier.
