Hi there,
I am looking to be able to search for a film, but only showing results by a certain provider? For example, searching 'Pirates' and only get only results that are available on Disney+. Is there anything you could suggest?
Can't find a movie or TV show? Login to create it.
Want to rate or add this item to a list?
Not a member?

You can use the Discover endpoints by using
with_watch_provider
andwith_text_query
. The URL for your example:390 is the provider id for Disney Plus. You may specify the watch region as well. Unfortunately, currently there is no watch provider search, so you have to use the
/watch/providers/movie
endpoint to get the full list and filter it yourself.Reply by acumming24

Thank you! I had looked at the discover function and I am currently implementing that for general use, but I didn't see the with_text_query part!!

Your welcome :) That's no surprise since It's not documented in the documentation (but the parameter was mentioned in the forum sometimes :')).

As @vkay said, this parameter is not documented.
Travis Bell has already mentioned it in some conversations.
He said it works but is not very reliable.
So you might get some surprise. :-)

@cylon147, a few things...
append_to_response
is not supported on discover.watch_region
can only be used in conjunction with eitherwith_watch_monetization_types
orwith_watch_providers
.
