Add number of votes to API

This is exsactly what I was going to ask

Hi, can an admin look into this feature?

Thanks

Hi Swagmaniscool, sorry for the late response. Adding the votes sounds like a reasonable request. We'll be discussing it later today. Cheers, Jan

Hi Jan,

Did you decide to add this feature?

Any news on this?

Hi Swag,

Thanks for your patience.

We touched the subject a while back when you brought it up and it slipped my mind to respond.

We aren't against the idea. I do think we should have a lot more votes before introducing it as an endpoint.

I've added it to our to do list. But this will likely only be added in combination or after we've implemented a couple of new placements for voting. This to increase the amount of votes being cast by users.

If more users are interested in this feature let us know and we'll gradually bump it up.

And to get an update when it comes out, best to 'follow' this thread.

cheers,

Jan

Hi Jan,

As the IMDB link is provided as part of the show info, can its IMDB score also be included as part of the result set e.g http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/82? Generally most of the users of my app refer to the IMDB score to determine "watch-worthy" shows. Is this something that can be included?

Regards,

Not sure if you already are doing, but considering that TVMaze does not do this, you can use the IMDb ID that you get from TVMaze then get the votes or rating using an API built for usage with IMDb which is called OMDb like this:

Show level: http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt0944947

Season level: http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt0944947&Season=1

I know it's not ideal, but it's probably your best option right now.

@gazza911 thanks for that. Will look into the API. My intention with my app was always to keep all the API requests going to one place being TvMaze which explains my request above. Used to use both TvMaze and TMDB's API before it became an issue because of TMDB's non-Creative Commons images
