Inconsistency of movie votes

Hi!
I've found an inconsistency in the detail of the movie with id 477272, votes are not the same in these different endpoints:
Movie list => "vote_count": 0 https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=b0790bc553ba280be98265c4df8307c8&language=en-US&query=Ilk%20%C3%96p%C3%BCc%C3%BCk&page=1&include_adult=false
Detail => "vote_count": 1 https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/477272?api_key=b0790bc553ba280be98265c4df8307c8&language=en-US { "vote_average": 10.0, "vote_count": 1}
Do you have any idea why this may be happening?
Thanks in advance :)
Brenda

Yes, this is because all of the list methods (search, discover, find, etc...) are heavily cached. The detail methods are only cached for 6 hours at a time, so they will reflect data closer to real time.

Hi Travis!
Thank you for your quick response. The "vote_count" value is still different between these requests, It should already be solved after 6 hours, right?

Hi @bren717,
No, like I said the list methods are not cached in the same way. Only the name spaced methods (/movie/{id},/ tv/{id}, etc...) have the 6 hour cache.
