502 error from TheTVDB api

[DariusIII]

I am having issues for some time now, because i am getting the 502 error when checking for episodes info.

[2021-12-05 04:54:26] NNTmux.ERROR: Got status code 502 from service at path series/385118/episodes/default {"exception":"[object] (Exception(code: 0): Got status code 502 from service at path **series/385118/episodes/default** at vendor/canihavesomecoffe>[stacktrace]

Interesting enough, the swagger fails too:

https://api4.thetvdb.com/v4/series/385118/episodes/default?page=0&season=1&episodeNumber=1

I'll check on that tomorrow, but the fact that their own swagger fails too is not a good sign... Let's hope it's just an update they didn't announce (and forgot to update the swagger)

I have filled an issue on their github.

It looks like we are getting wrong ids for some reason and that causes the tvdb API to return 502 error. I see that Dexter New Blood is failing because we look for id 412279 while proper ID for it is 412366.

They might have detected duplicate series and deleted one (not always the newest anymore). Happens to my database every now and then too.

Or did you mean something else?

[DariusIII]

That is what i meant.

[canihavesomecoffee]

Not much we can do about it, except for re-searching the series to check for an updated ID when you see this kind of issues popping up.

[DariusIII]

I will have to think of something when this happens. Thanks for prompt responses!

[canihavesomecoffee]

They should rather keep track when they delete a series and throw an error that gives the new ID... That'd fix the issue at once.

Maybe you or I should request such a feature for their API...

Since you are developing package that relies on their info, maybe you should be the one to open an issue and i will back you up.
