Discover API missing some movies
posted by brianminorSTAFFMOD on February 17, 2019 at 2:31 PM
Created a call to get all the movies coming out in the next year. But noticed some were missing. One I know for sure is the new How to Train your dragon movie. It shows up in a search call. Is there something I am missing with my discover call or something I can do to report and get it and any others I notice added?

Do you mean this movie? Its primary release is 2019-01-03 (Australia). For US release date only try to use release_date.gte and release_date.lte instead, it works for me.

Crap it does show up when I do that, but then the release date sort is super off First one showing up is 144 days out.

Yeah, afaik it's best to sort it by yourself, but I strongly recommend to still use &sort_by API parameter, as default sort option (sort by popularity) creates duplicates and omits some other entries (at least for me), as I reported here.
