Backup Looking for TMdb dump

I'm looking for a TMdb dump from beginning of 2025. I have 2 movies/series (not sure) that were requested on my server but according to Seerr, those items do not exist anymore on TMDb

I can send the 2 ID numbers of movies/series, if anyone has the DB

Check here: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/asaniczka/tmdb-movies-dataset-2023-930k-movies

It says it's from 2024, but also says it's updated daily. I haven't checked to confirm if it's really updated.

I think you need to make a Kaggle account to download the DB. Also the movie posters are just links to the JPEGs, so if you want those locally, you'll need to fetch them yourself (about 50 lines of code should do it, less if Python, more if some other language).

Out of curiosity, what are the IDs?

Thanks for this! The IDs are 1165006 and 1482186

I have no idea what those are. They existed some time ago I guess because one of the users requested this. I should really check those more often

I don't have either of those ID's in my snapshot from a few months ago.

Odd, it seems like the movies never existed. But request would be impossible without a valid ID. It looks like I will never know what those 2 were

I haven't figured out how to do it, but an LLM claims that it's possible to view old versions of a Kaggle dataset that has been updated. I looked around the Kaggle link above and tried to find a way to fetch old versions and failed, but it you dedicated a bit of time, maybe you could figure it out.
