Filtering by Year using discover doesn't work. Also applies to "Popular Movies" on the actual website

Using the "release_date.gte" parameter doesn't modify the results as expected. You can test this yourself outside of the API by going to the popular movies tab on TMDB, putting in a minimum year, and then sorting by Release Date Ascending, you'll see movies from 1900's instead of movies of only year 2000 and beyond. Using the network tab on your browser's inspector, you can see that the release_date.gte parameter is being sent, but the results aren't being filtered correctly.

If you use the
release_date.gtefilter you will want to also make sure you are using theregionfilter. Without it, you’re searching all release dates in all countries and you’ll see on those items they have release dates for things like re-releases or physical dates etc.The alternative option is to use
primary_release_date.gte. This filter will only filter by the single primary date.Reply by LeoIndu
