I am trying to obtain the MPAA rating for various movies. Previous posts about this are a few years old and refer to the RELEASES method, but the link takes me to a deprecated page and I cannot find a current reference. If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi @mredmond13
The method you're looking for is movie release dates.
Cheers.

A little more info other that pointing to "move release date" would be more helpful. I'm trying to get move rating Example: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17 etc.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi claga,
Did you take a look at the response of the method I linked to? It provides the MPAA certifications you're looking for.

Hi, why is MPAA certification attached to a release instead of the movie itself? The rating will not change from release to release right?

I wanted to retrieve the ratings aswell but the /movie/{movie_id} endpoint wasn't delivering the ratings. So I used the
append_to_response
query parameter and passedrelease_dates
since the ratings / certificates life there. So my final request looks like this: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{MOVIE_ID}?api_key={YOUR_KEY}&language=en-US&append_to_response=release_dates. This counts as ONE request (you are capped at 40 requests every 10 seconds) and you can access all data at once. You can even combine the parameters to get even more details about the movie.Hope this helps, because it did help me finding out about this!

Is there a way to get this to work with all movies and not just a single movie? I'm using the favorite movies endpoint:
Adding
&append_to_response=release_dates
to this endpoint doesn't return the data included in therelease_dates
object.Reply by Travis Bell

You can only use
append_to_response
on the primary media calls. It is not supported on any account methods.
