Item: The Dragon Dentist
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Design_issue
Extra Details: I can't search this show via TinyMM, because there is
a) a movie with same title ("The Dragon Dentist") from year 2014: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/367548
b) a movie with same ID (70468) from year 2001: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/70468
and search gives me therefore always wrong results.
Questions:
1) Will your API give multiple results if there are many with same title?
2) is it by design, that IDs are not unique?

Yes; IDs are only unique within each section of the database. So there will be a film, tv and a person page with the same ID number (unless a page is removed).
If you're still having issues with TinyMM and the API, I suggest you post about your issue in the API support section instead. Someone more knowledgeable about the API can answer your question faster there.
