Not able to fetch any season information - "Series or season not found!"

Open ianlenehan opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

This has been working for me up until recently. I am unable to fetch any season data for almost every show I try. I did manage to get the Simpsons when trying it but that's it.

For example, this URL should fetch season 1 of Westworld but I keep getting "Series or season not found!"

Anyone else seeing this? Any help or investigation would be great!

Omdbapi draws from wikidata last I heard and not imdb directly. Wikidata is updated by the community (including potentially you). Imdb charges a lot of money to use its APIs or bulk data download compared to this free option. Does what you are looking for exist in wikidata?
