Hi everyone,
I've noticed that when I fetch movie details using the TMDb API, sometimes the poster image is outdated, even though the website shows the latest one.
For example, I use this query:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&append_to_response=images
But the response still returns an old poster URL.
Things I’ve tried:
Clearing my local cache.
Adding cache_bust query parameters.
Checking different language variations in the API request.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to force the API to fetch the most recent poster?
Experts suggest ensuring the latest poster by checking TMDb's CDN caching policies and using dynamic image requests. More insights here: https://www.concretecontractorsannarbormichigan.com/

You need to wait for the expiration of the API cache. This can take up to 8 hours.
