Why this site is not in sync with IMDb? I show only 4 credits while on IMDb I have much more than that. How can I merge the data?
Also why you show 2 profiles for me? One without a pic crediting Xanandu Hellfire only.

Hi @edofuenzalida ,
TMDB and IMDb are independant, and don't share data. So, sites are not in sync.
If you to merge TMDB and IMDb data, you can: TMDB movie data includes (when available) the corresponding IMDb ID. Merging the data can be automated, using API services.
Best regards,

The actor has his IMDb ID in his profile, now how do you link them with the API services?

In order to get data from IMDb, you will need an access to IMDb API. Unlike TMDB, IMDb API is not free: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results?FULFILLMENT_OPTION_TYPE=DATA_EXCHANGE&CREATOR=0af153a3-339f-48c2-8b42-3b9fa26d3367&DATA_AVAILABLE_THROUGH=API_GATEWAY_APIS&filters=FULFILLMENT_OPTION_TYPE%2CCREATOR%2CDATA_AVAILABLE_THROUGH

Is this insane or what? Price $400,000 + metered costs I just need to have the correct information for this actor only. How hard is that? How TMDB got partial data in the first place?

Because IMDB and TMDB are 2 separate sites.
All our data are created by the users. Feel free to complete the data here. Credits should be added to the corresponding movie pages.
Certainly, because a user didn't see the already existing page and xcreated a new one. This has already been fixed.
No. We don't provide an API to enter data in our database. Data should be entered manually.
As indicate above, all our data are created by the users. Feel free to complete the data here. Credits should be added to the corresponding movie pages.

As indicated : Credits should be added to the corresponding movie pages, not to the actor page.

Thanks for the guidance, I was able to find most of his movies, but there are some in IMDb that are not located in TMDB. He has 19 records on IMDb but just 10 on TMBD. Funny part, one of TMBD is not on IMDb (Daddy's Girl). Is there any logic to adding the movies, like if it's a short film, not a big production company, etc?
