VIP ONLY (more info)

• We’re starting to create VIP only methods so your app can offer some features from the website experience.
• Reset show watched progress using /shows/id/progress/watched/reset and optionally include the reset_at date.

UPDATES

• When using the /updates methods the start_date is only accurate to the hour (for caching purposes). Please drop the minutes and seconds from your timestamp to help optimize our cached data. For example, use 2021–07–17T12:00:00Z and not 2021–07–17T12:23:34Z.
• All /updates methods only allow 30 days in the past as the oldest date. This won’t affect most apps, but some were scraping data by going years in the past and that caused performance issues.

BUGS

• Fixed the watchlist updated timestamp to be more accurate.

UPDATES

• Reorder watchlist items using /sync/watchlist/reorder and personal recommendations using /sync/recommendations/reorder. This works the same as reordering personal list items, just in these new sections.

BUGS

• Fixed 500 error on the watchlist endpoints that was caused by having a blank watchlist and never having added an item to it.
