Hi :)
I'm trying to combine keywords using the comma/pipe operators. What I need to do is find movies that ALWAYS have one keyword (in my case '163053' which is the code for 'Found Footage') but then also have a few more. e.g. Found Footage movies about Aliens - but sadly, people apply keywords a bit haphazardly so some FF movies are tagged 'Alien' (code 9951) whilst some might be tagged 'UFO' instead (code 9738).
So I've tried three ways:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=<MY-API-KEY>&with_keywords=163053,9951,9738&sort_by=release_date.asc&page=1
But that only gives me movies that are Found Footage AND Alien AND UFO - in other words, if they're not keyword tagged with all 3 of those keywords I get nothing. Then I tried:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=<MY-API-KEY>&with_keywords=163053,9951|9738&sort_by=release_date.asc&page=1
But that gives me Found Footage movies also tagged Alien and also movies tagged UFO (not necessarily Found Footage though). So then I tried;
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=<MY-API-KEY>&with_keywords=163053,9951|163053,9738&sort_by=release_date.asc&page=1
Which is better...but it still seems to be missing movies.
Am I on the right track here? Is what I'm trying even possible? Or am I missing something obvious?

I'm not sure, but I believe that it is not possible to use both resources, AND and OR, simultaneously.
There are plans to add some similar features to your order.

It might be better to add your suggestion in a comment on the Trello thread.
It would be something like: &with_keywords=163053 and (9951 or 9738 or ...)
