Get only "Anime" from results of search for TV Shows
Hey I was wondering if it was possible to get only anime tv shows in the returned JSON, when I'm doing a search with a string query.
For example when I do : https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?api_key=<>&language=en-US&page=1&query=death&include_adult=false

When I do this request I would like to have only the anime TV shows, so "Death Note" would work but not "Death in Paradise" would not be a tv show I would want.
If it's possible to get something like this I would like to know how to do it,
thanks in advance.

The API Search Request I don't think is possible.
It doesn't have a filter for that.

What you can try is to make a Discover API Request.
It has several filters.
There is no Anime genre on TMDb. But you can use the Animation Genre ID. 16 .
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list?api_key=THE_KEY
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/tv/list?api_key=THE_KEY
And can also use Anime Keyword ID.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/keyword?api_key=THE_KEY&query=anime
Also, there is an undocumented filter that MAYBE works.
With the word death using &with_text_query=
Example:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=THE_KEY&language=en-US&page=1&with_genres=16&with_keywords=210024|287501&with_text_query=death
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/tv?api_key=THE_KEY&language=en-US&page=1&with_genres=16&with_keywords=210024|287501&with_text_query=death

This is exactly what I wanted thanks !

btw will the '&include_adult=false' work with the discovery API requests ? or is there some other way to set this variable ?

I believe it works. In your case maybe &include_adult=true .
By the way, all documented filters should work.

Perfect, all my questions are now answered thank you very much !!

So what can we do for random?

Using Discover API Request, if one of the parameters/filters is not specified,
in principle the response will be random for that unspecified parameter/filter.

Except in the case of the &sort_by= filter.
If nothing is specified the default response will be &sort_by=popularity.desc.
