Movies dissapear reason
posted by develSTAFFMOD on February 15, 2018 at 8:23 PM
Hi Team,
I've started noticing that some movies I searched for in the past and remembered their IDs are no longer present in TMDB catalog, nor I can find them via 'Search' .
Example id: 320463 ("Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham")
Now, the response is:
{
"status_code": 34,
"status_message": "The resource you requested could not be found."
}
Could you please explain why this happens ?

Hi, I believe the entry in question was deleted for not being a movie. It's a video game. Bad entries get deleted all the time when discovered so I don't think there is anything wrong. Of course, at times, there may be incorrect deletions, but we try to minimize those.
