Hello, i want insert in my project a feature that let the user to see new series added, so i see that in the xml there is two value:

<FirstAired>
<added>

with these two value i can order the series and give to the user the a list ordered by date of first aired or added, so my question is, there is a way with the search to have all the tv series? i don't know with a wildcard, and then i can order all this series in my code, so with this:

http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=

have the complete list of the tv series, or even better also ordered for those two values?

There is no way to do what you want. We may offer something along those lines with the new site but not with the current API.

I'm not even sure we'll allow that with the new site. It really isn't the purpose of the site at all. But we're trying to be flexible so it could happen. As for an ETA, no ETA.

The only way to even kinda do what you want is to grab the DB dump of the site. Feel free to do it if you want, you can find it in the announcements forum. It comes with absolutely no support and is rarely updated.
