In the two years since, we tried easing the transition away from the legacy APIs: We included a transformation layer that continued to allow the old legacy APIs to function using the new data structure, but it takes a lot of time and money to run so we can't leave it up forever. This rewrite forced us to create a new API that correctly represented the new data structure and was built using more scalable technology. Through a complete restructuring of data a few years ago, we attempted to not only correct past mistakes, but also become more flexible in how we accommodate edge cases and non-traditional series. Inevitably, some mistakes were made and the industry has changed considerably in the years since. TheTVDB was originally written in a weekend in 2004, with features and data slowly expanding with varying degrees of thoughtfulness. There has been some confusion related to the availability of our API and the various Kodi scrapers for TheTVDB.
