Discover: filter by "production country"

Is it somehow possible to discover movies based on their production countries (with a filter)? If not, are there any plans on implementing something like this? :)
cheers! :)

Hi @vaertie,
The only country field you can filter by right now is the origin country by using the
with_origin_countryfilter. Here's an example:Does that meet the criteria you were looking for?

I kinda had the idea that a movie has exactly one production country, but I think I'm just wrong :D so actually "with_origin_country" is exactly what I was looking for! thanks a lot!
why isn't it in the documention for the discover endpoint though? or did I just miss it somehow?

Excellent, no problem.
The current version of the Stoplight docs we're using are locked and read only since they are on Stoplight's old EOL'd platform. We'll be migrating to a new platform sometime in the near future.

ah ok! so is there some kind of unofficial documentation for the endpoints then? sometimes I like reading them to get an idea of what information I could use :)

Nope, only the docs that live at https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/introduction
They are mostly up to date, they're just missing a few filters here and there that have been added in the past ~2 months.
