API Movie query requiring "exact" title
posted by ScottSTAFFMOD on maj 9, 2013 at 1:37 PM
While doing some testing, I noticed that the API for a movie query is requiring the the title to be exact. For example, in the following AP call...
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=New+Years+Eve&api_key=MY_API_KEY
I get no results, however, if I add the apostrophe (to the word "Year's") into the query string, like this....
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=New+Year's+Eve&api_key=MY_API_KEY
Then I actually get results. For some reason, I thought this working, but now I see it's not. Would like the query to not be so exact.
thanks

Good find, these are some of the little things we'll find with the new search.
I'll be able to address this fairly easily, but in the meantime I added an alternative title.
Should be good.
P.S. we don't require an exact title, this is unique to the apostrophe.

It seems to now work again. I am getting the results I was expecting without being forced to use the apostophe.
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=New+Years+Eve&api_key=MY_API_KEY
Maybe a hiccup in the system?

No worries. I just committed the fix for this so as soon as everything is indexed again, other titles with apostrophes will start working as well. Thanks for reporting it.
