Upcoming API Changes for TvMaze

Hi wezley,

We don't provide any lists of upcoming features in order not to raise false expectations on deadlines.

What would you like to know specifically? Is there something you're currently missing?

cheers,

Jan

If you want to keep up with changes in the API, you can follow this thread: http://www.tvmaze.com/threads/4/api-changelog and you'll get a notification every time a change is announced.

Major potentially breaking changes are also announced in there.

Hi Jan,

I am currently stuck on an issue with web shows, I can't find a good way to access this information for my android app, I know I can use the full schedule api but downloading ~2.5Mb every 24 hrs isn't realistic for a users data limit. http://www.tvmaze.com/threads/2182/web-channel-shows-not-present-in-schedule-endpoint

I think I was looking for more of "What we are working on" rather than deadlines, I see many requests for features in the API forum and no clear commit on whether a feature will be implemented. I think something like this would be a really good idea. https://trello.com/b/ntwJqCHC/eve-valkyrie-roadmap

Thanks again for providing such a good service.

That's pretty much intentional

We receive so many questions and suggestions that we're continually overwhelmed. That means we don't really have the time to properly track everything and maintain a roadmap that you could rely on.

As for API requests, the best indicator is how many people ask for a feature. The more people asking, the more likely it is to get our attention!
