Hi! I'm trying to obtain movie IDs from poster URLs without knowing which movie it came from. Is there a way to to use the API to search for the movie or show an image asset came from when I only know the URL? I looked at the response headers when making a request to the image URL, but I don't see a header value for the tmdb ID or anything that could correspond to the original tmdb entry. I'm trying to cross-reference IDs on a external website that uses the tmdb API to add images to their site.

No, this is not possible.

Okay :(
Can I submit a feature request for this to be supported?
Alternatively, could I get a database dump of all the poster filenames and which movie/show they're used on?

Yes.
I suggest you open a new thread with a suitable title.
For example: New Feature - List image path with item ID
Or something similar.

I don't know how to answer.
I don't think so. I've never seen anything like this.
Only the admin, Travis Bell, can answer.

Okay! š I've created a new thread for this now https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/6808f833b2b722aedf8a0ef4
In that case, is this something that would be possible to export from the database as a one-time thing @travisbell ? Only if it's not too much trouble and it's not gonna put a lot of stress on the server.
