Hi,
Currently using API to make movie and tv shows discover requests. API request that I have been using for months suddenly stopped working. Below is an example of such request with filters:
Any reason why a request like the one above used to work but not anymore?
Thank you

Try correcting your last 2 parameters.
language=en-US®ion=US

Still nothing:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=THE_KEY&with_genres=&primary_release_date.gte=&primary_release_date.lte=&with_watch_providers=8&watch_region=us&sort_by=popularity.desc&page=1&language=en-US®ion=US
Perhaps something changed on backend where API functionality changed? Exact request above used to work fine.

In your last example, several parameter values are missing.
Let's compare your first example, the one at the beginning of this conversation.
Yours is 1. Mine is 2.
The Country of &watch_region=US is also capitalized.

Indeed, the query #2 above (from @ticao2) is returning 337 results. What about that is not what you expect?

After further testing, it seems like watch_region parameter must be capitalized. Language does not need to be in en-US format (simply en works). Apologies for the bug report as it still works when formatted correctly. Documentation on this would help others in the feature. Following request works as expected:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=THE_KEY&with_genres=&primary_release_date.gte=&primary_release_date.lte=&with_watch_providers=8&watch_region=US&sort_by=popularity.desc&page=1&language=en®ion=US
