hi, endpoint trending/all/day, should return all category including movies, but now only tvshow

endpoint /3/trending/all/day?api_key=apikey&language=en-US&page=1

expectation: should return list of trending movies and tvshow

[
 {
    // ...
    "media_type":"tv"
 },
 {
    // ...
    "media_type":"movie"
 },
    // ...
]

observation:

[
 {
    // ...
    "media_type":"tv"
 },
 {
    // ...
    "media_type":"tv"
 },
    // ...
]

how to reproduce:

go to the endpoint with api key(or access token): https://api.themoviedb.org/3/trending/all/day?api_key=apikey&language=en-US
observe there's no movies(media_type:movie) included in the list

this only happen since 2 days ago, before that it works fine. you can also test it out in reference page: https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/trending-all

side note:

this only effect on trending/all/day, for endpoint trending/movie/day and trending/all/week works fine
this also effect tmdb homepage: https://www.themoviedb.org/
in case you wondering, this is not because only all trending on that day is only tvshow, because i tested &page=2 until &page=10, still no movie.
this will be obvious on GUI if your GUI color label the media type

Yup, I suspect somebody is gaming the system.

I’ll be spending some time looking into this tomorrow.

I tweaked the algorithm for trending and deployed these changes to the website last night. This is why the website is showing different data than what you see on the API.

I'll be looking at pushing these changes to the API later today.

Trending for Movies, Series, and Actors returning completely generic movies, series, and actors. What happened to the API? For instance, Trending Movies now it's returning this weird list:

I just deployed the updates to the API. Within the next few minutes all of the cached trending responses will have been purged from cache and you will see the data look correct again.
