Reboots and the api single show search

Redwings23 wrote 5 years ago: 1

Hi !

With all the rebooted shows would it be possible to modify the single show search to accept the year as an entry parameter. Magnum 2018, Charmed 2018... at the moment if you parse that to the API it has no return.

Thank you

For now, we recommend that you locally match on metadata such as year/country. See https://gist.github.com/tvdavid/e1503f6824aee4ef0dda and https://www.tvmaze.com/threads/314/shows-using-same-name :)

Also; the singlesearch endpoint will always return the most popular result, so in case of reboots it's highly likely that you'll always get the currently running version.
