⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Take Parameter Limit Reduced
Effective Date: February 10, 2026 Affected Endpoints: /Entertainment/Search, /Celebrity/Search
Action Required: To prevent payload sizes from exceeding the API Gateway’s 10MB hard limit, the maximum value for the Take parameter is being reduced from 50 to 10.
Why we are doing this: We are significantly expanding the data available in our records (including Global Availability and extensive Fabric Descriptions). Because Shows and Movies contain inherently larger datasets, response sizes vary and can hit the 10MB limit.
Currently, exceeding the 10MB limit triggers a 500 Server Error at the Gateway level. Since this occurs after a successful server response, these errors are not detectable via standard monitoring.
Optimization: By reducing the page size to 10 and enabling Gzip compression, we are reducing payload sizes by up to 70%. This ensures stability and provides the necessary headroom for future data growth.
Impact: Any request submitted after February 10 with a Take value greater than 10 will return a 400 Bad Request error.
February 4 , 2026 Release
Gzip Compression Enabled: To further optimize data transfer, we have enabled Gzip compression. This reduces payload sizes by approximately 70%, significantly improving performance for data-heavy requests (e.g., descriptions or global availability data)
To request compressed output, add the following header to your request: Accept-Encoding: gzip
Content Updates
Global Awards Data: We have added 87,699 new awards across 162 award types globally. This data is now available via the MediaManager awards filters.
Provider Update: The iTunes provider has been migrated to Apple TV. We are currently updating the associated statistics and they will be available shortly.
Provider Update: HBO and Max availability data has been migrated to HBOMax and the legacy providers have been removed. This update affects a total of 8,644 movies and shows
Provider Removal: The imdbTv provider has been removed from 79 shows as the service has been discontinued.
