We have the same problem. As far as I know, a correspondance table does not exist, dans "Comscore/Rentrak" ids are not available in movie external ids.
Such a table can be created automatically with a good match ratio using the https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/search/search-movies API, and Comscore information (movie title, movie release date, etc.).
With this technique, we built our own table with a 66% match ratio, on more than 20.000 Comscore movies.
I exhume this thread because we are still using a custom development to compute the TMDB/Comscore match.
We think this DB could benefit to other people and would like to share it.
I've created a new ticket to think about adding this here. Should we decide to add it, remember all external ID's are already searchable via the /find method.

Hello,
I exhume this thread because we are still using a custom development to compute the TMDB/Comscore match. We think this DB could benefit to other people and would like to share it.
Would it be possible to add another "Rentrak" external id to movies (https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/movie-external-ids)?
Bonus: it would be useful if we could search a TMDB movie by an external id (https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-movie).

Hey @bcourtine,
I've created a new ticket to think about adding this here. Should we decide to add it, remember all external ID's are already searchable via the
/find
method.You can watch that ticket for updates. Thanks!
