Logos and a few API updates
Once upon a time, TMDb supported having logos on our production company pages. Unfortunately somewhere along the way during a website update or two, we lost the ability to upload logos as well as edit company pages. I’m happy to report that both of these features are back and working better than ever. Not only did companies get updated but networks did as well.
The best part about this logo update is that we support SVG’s now. SVG’s let us return the asset to you in vector format so they’re high resolution and pixel perfect no matter your target size or resolution. If you don’t want to use the vector format, that’s no problem since our image service supports returning PNG versions of those assets as well. There is nothing special you need to worry about. Here’s an example of a few different versions of the same Netflix logo:
Since launching SVG support only 3 weeks ago, we’ve already got over 950 added. So keep them coming guys, we’re having an SVG party over here. 🎉
Companies and networks also got some API updates which can be viewed in the API documentation.
The last thing I wanted to mention was a few API updates that have happened over the past few months that weren’t really worth individual posts. Here’s a short recap of some of the work that has been completed:
- Runtimes now default to English when not present in the queried translation
- Collections have a translation list method
- Season names and overviews are now returned in the series level seasons list
- TV reviews
- The “type” field is now available on movie and TV alternative title methods
- TV Discover now supports the`with_companies` filter like movies
- Expanded configuration methods to include a list of primary translations, languages, countries and jobs
- ETag and conditional GET (returning a 304) is properly supported on media methods
