You can find it at this pdf in full extend http://www.culture.gov.sk/legdoc/23/ . Also please add icons for this rating system, it is from goverment site, just converted to png https://ulozto.net/!RnLOpuLiHK4A/slovak-pictograms-tv-film-zip (Click on slow download, do the captcha thing and click on download button).

In Slovak language:

And one last thing. This Rating system is ALSO for MOVIES. Please, add this to that also. Thanks!

Ratings for the Philippines?

There's a section on it, on that wikipedia guide you (@travisbell) linked.

If there needs to be further research put into it, then I'm more than happy to make some efforts (though its debatable how valuable my efforts will be grin)

Nmv, this is already available.

@travisbell

a good reference : movielabs ratings

I dont think so. They have weird ratings for Slovakia, which are not even used here... We use something totaly different. Only game rating match up.

There's often data for Singapore's television ratings since they tend to be more strict than many other jurisdictions, even on streaming content in major global languages. Since they're listed on the Wikipedia page you cited it might be worth considering adding them to the mix.

Hi, Can you please add Norway.

  • A - allowed for everyone - can be aired at any time
  • 6+ - allowed for those over 6 - can be aired at any time
  • 9+ - allowed for those over 9 - can be aired at any time
  • 12+ - allowed for those over 12 - can be aired only from 19:00 ( 7:00pm) to 05:30 (5:30am)
  • 15+ - allowed for those over 15 - can be aired only from 21:00 ( 9:00pm) to 05:30 (5:30am)
  • 18+ - allowed for those over 18 - can be aired only from 21:00 ( 9:00pm) to 05:30 (5:30am)

The exception is the Norwegian channels that transmit from abroad, such as FEM, MAX, TV3, Viasat 4 and Canal +. These channels follow the rules that apply in the country they transmit from.

Best regards, JUs90KL83

In Portugal the movie Aladdin in the cinema with subtitles is M/12, but the same movie in the cinema, folded in Portuguese is M/6. And I can only add 1, I would add the two.

Hi. The guide on Wikipedia is outdated for Ukraine.
According to the legislative source (Google translation),

The certification system of Ukraine:
ДА - Дитяча аудиторія
ЗА - Загальна аудиторія
12 - До 12 років тільки у присутності батьків
16 - До 16 років перегляд забороняється
18 - До 18 років перегляд забороняється

The same in English:
DA - Children audience
ZA - General audience
12 - Under 12 must be accompanied by an adult
16 - Under 16 not admitted
18 - Under 18 not admitted

Hey @nikolajskov I'll get the Danish data added on Monday.

Hi Travis I get error when trying to add for "Denmark"

Error The country you are trying to add has not been added to TMDb. Click here to see if it can be added.

...so, it does not look like it's "Monday" yet :P ?

Danish media-council

an e.g. The Blacklist

EDIT: Sweden = Rek. fr.: 15 år (For ages 15 years and up (young down to 11 years accompanied by an adult).) Denmark = Tilladt for børn over 15 år (For ages 15 and up.) Norway = Anbefalt aldersgrense: 15 år (15 years (young down to 12 years accompanied by an adult).)

Finland = 16 (K-16 – For people 16 years or older. Under 16s require parental guidance for admittance into the film.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_Board_of_Film_Classification

Can we get ratings for New Zealand? see here.

Hello, please add Persian to languages option. Thanks.

I believe it is now available:

https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/configuration/get-countries
  {
    "iso_3166_1": "IR",
    "english_name": "Iran"
  },

https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/configuration/get-languages
    {
    "iso_639_1": "fa",
    "english_name": "Persian",
    "name": "فارسی"
  },

https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/configuration/get-primary-translations

  "eu-ES",
  "fa-IR",
  "fi-FI",

But if what you want is the inclusion of the Iranian Certification or Rating,
then you need to post here the Film and Television Certifications,
in English and in the original language,
as well as a link to reliable sources of this information.
For example, the government agency link to these ratings.
