- you can find this ID in the URL
- e.g. for "Rogue One" the URL looks like this `https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3748528/` so the ID is `tt3748528`
- [TMDB](https://www.themoviedb.org/)
- the ID you need is the numeric value in the URL directly following `/movie/` or `/tv/`
- e.g. for "Stargate" the URL looks like this `https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/2164-stargate` so the ID is `2164`
