wildcard search
Verfasst von videntifierSTAFFMOD am 26. März 2014 um 07:18
hi!
first of all, thank you. api you provide is amazing. however, since few days i noticed a small difference with wildcard search for all movies.. i can search for "*a" but not for "*" anymore. so i cannot f.ex. find all movies made in 1922 anymore, unless i search for "a*", "b*" and so on.. is it possible that "full" wildcard search wild return in future?
thanks!

also now i noticed that common words were filtered out, so f.ex. searching for Series made in 1951 which contain "and" return nothing ...
is it possible to somehow find all series for a year now?
i am trying to keep my db synced with tmdb - i can do it for movies if i use movies changes api, but series dont have changes api, do they?

I'm not sure about the wildcard search just yet, I'll have to look into it more deeply.
If you want to find all of the TV series for a particular year, or movie for that matter, use the /discover/tv method in combination with
first_air_date_yearand/orfirst_air_date.gte/first_air_date.lte.
