  • Removed the themoviedb and imdb query parameters and JSON body options from /api/v2/ids
  • Added two new endpoints: /api/v2/imdb, and /api/v2/themoviedb
    • These work the same way as TheTVDB querying, check out the docs for more details

Option removals and new endpoints

These endpoints exist for the same reason that the TheTVDB does: they store entire shows as entries instead of the usual seasons that all anime sites use.

This means that many of their IDs map to multiple IDs for other services, for example imdb:tt5370118 (Konosuba) has 5 entries in other sites.

These one-to-many relations would break the API endpoint and did cause issues with inserting entries into the database. This is why this breaking change is applied to the existing endpoint and not to a new major version.
