Hello,
I would like to know why the similar movies sent by the API, are not the same as similar movies suggested on the web pages of these movies?
For exemple, the movie "wanted"
Similar movies in APi : Furious 7, John Wick, The Godfather, Batman Begins ..... Similar movie in Website : Salt, Daredevil, HyperTension, Jumper ....
Thank you ...

Hi yetissil,
They are not the same system.
Similar movies are still available on the website but the section listed at the bottom of movie pages is now the "recommended" movies.

vs.
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/76341-mad-max-fury-road/recommended
Recommended have not yet been brought into the API.

Hi,
Until this feature, is it possible to make a parsing on the page to obtain the names of similar films, or is it forbidden?
Vincent.

Hey @yetissil, this is now live for both movies and TV shows.
Docs are located here and here.
