Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way, maybe with embedding, to include the show id when you look for a specific episode or season.
For example when looking for http://api.tvmaze.com/episodes/100, it gives all the episode information but you can't know which program it belongs to. Is there a way you can show that?
Thank you so much!
If you really want to, you can use http://api.tvmaze.com/episodes/100?embed=show
But it's counter-intuitive; how do you plan on using the episodes endpoint?
thank you! It sounds counter intuitive but it seems to me the easiest way to update a sql database so that you do not have to go over every episode of every show again
Can't you just use http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/3/episodes?
Or are you meaning you only wanted to update some of the episodes?
Yes, I only want to add to my database the new episodes. Thanks so much for the answer! I just have one more question, why can't you use the same for seasons? ex: http://api.tvmaze.com/seasons/100?embed=show. It is giving me an error. When looking up a season by itself is there a way of knowing its show id?
Embedding is normally used for navigating to children as opposed to the parent.
So you'd be able to get the episodes for a season via http://api.tvmaze.com/seasons/100?embed=episodes.
I don't quite understand what you're trying to achieve by doing it in this way, that you couldn't do with other endpoints.
