I have been switching a few thousand lines of code over to the new API and have found a few inconsistencies on the new API. (things I could do before that I cant do now)
The old Version 2.1 query to get movies that were ranked between 8/10 and 10/10 http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.browse/en-US/xml/MYAPIKEY?order_by=rating&order=desc&min_votes=3&page=1per_page=100&rating_min8&rating_max10, PageIndex)
I have searched the version 3 documentation and there is nothing about searching by votes. I tried the following just to see if it would work but it doesn't. api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?page=1&query=*&api_key=MYAPIKEY&rating_min8&rating_max10
I also have a feature in my application that searches the MovieDB using IMDB ID's, that way when users add movies they can put in themovieDB ID or the IMDB_ID. This is now broken as well as I cannot find a way to search via IMDB_ID.
Old 2.1 query http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.imdbLookup/en/xml/MYAPIKEY/tt0092099
Are there any other search arguments that are not published in the new API?

I have now found /3/discover/movie
Seems close to what I need but there is still no "rating_Max", I guess I could return all results and just filter out the ones that rank past... only problem is that it really screws up the page= portion, no longer can I use your API's great page feature.
I also cant search by IMDBID using the discover feature

Hi grifter,
First, for your issue with searching for an IMDB ID, you can do:
Second, with your question about a
vote_average.lte
option, correct we only have avote_average.gte
parameter. I'll think about adding the second option but in the meantime, you could just sort byvote_average.desc
and page through items until you're within the range you are looking for.Cheers.

IMDB link worked Perfect,
Also never occurred to me to sort Desc and just stop, that will work great.
Thanks for the reply.
