Updating Celebrities Data
All celebrities are marked with a unique updateId, denoting current information for the celebrity. Changes to any person data will result in assignment of a new updateId, which allows you to pull deltas since last retrieval of celebrity information. You can use celebrity information in conjunction with program cast, crew, and awards information to provide a searchable and connected mediography for celebrities.
