Hi,
The movie Cold Ground (id = 272803) has no field named release_date in search endpoint whereas, in movie endpoint, the field is there.
Please check this link.
Please check and fix this!
Thanks, Shahood ul Hassan

As visible on the site, the movie Cold Ground (id = 272803) doesn't have any release date information attached to it.

Thanks for your reply!
That's right but as developers we have to make sure whether a field would be there in the retrieved data or not and whether its value can be null or not.
However, in case of this particular field at least in this one case I reported, the field is retrieved with an empty
Stringin case of/moviebut in case of/search, the field is totally absent from the retrieved data. This breaks the application, which is why I wanted to report it and ask for a fix.Thanks!

In the description of the API, the field is listed as optional. That mean that the field can be here or not.
