where do i add show id's?

Or a crappy one if that's what you're into

where do i add show id's?

bungle wrote 8 years ago: 1

I've been looking all over the place on the update show page and now im wondering, is it even possible to change or add the imdb/tvdb/tvrage id's to a show after it's been created. If not can this be considered?

Please help a guy out i'm lost :)

This is possible, but only for Curating Contributors and higher. If you have any missing ones, please report them in Edit Requests and we'll add them!

Ah okay, only I think I missed out a tvrage id recently but im unsure to which show it was for now.

I guess there's no easy way of telling unless the id's could be viewed. :)

Thanks anyway

You can use the API as a trick to display all external ID's for a show: http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1

Unfortunately the formatting of JSON is messed up by default in Firefox, but installing something like http://jsonview.com/ would fix that. :)

If you want to view the ID's for a show and you're not a Curating Contributor then you'd need to use the API;

api.tvmaze.com/shows/TVMazeID

api.tvmaze.com/singlesearch/shows?q=NameOfShow

Then you'll find it the TVRage / TheTVDB / IMDb IDs under externals.
