Data Structure
These files are not a valid JSON object, but each line is. Most systems, tools, and languages have easy ways of scanning lines in files (skipping and buffering) without having to load the entire file into memory. The assumption here is that you can read every line easily, and you can expect each line to contain a valid JSON object.Availability
All of the exported files are available for download from http://files.tmdb.org. The export job runs every day starting at around 7:00 AM UTC, and all files are available by 8:00 AM UTC. There is currently no authentication on these files since they are not very useful unless you’re a user of our service. Please note that this could change at some point in the future, so if you start having problems accessing these files, check this document for updates.| Media Type | Path | Name |
