Trailer endpoint

Hi!
It would be nice to have a /movie/trailers endpoint to retrieve the latest updated/added trailers (filtered by language). Is there something similar currently in production? Keep up the good work guys!

Hi jeromescheer,
We do not have anything quite like this. Just so I can get more background about the use case, what and how are you doing that this would be helpful?
I'm currently weighing some options about the future direction of "videos" on TMDb so any extra info can be helpful.

Hey Travis,
Well, I've planned to create an iOS app using The MovieDB API. To make users launch the app more often I thought that having new trailers everyday would help. No such API currently exists on the market and third party developers are struggling to provide features using movie trailers like the one I've described. Since you don't host the trailer data, providing a /movie/trailers endpoint won't hurt the website's bandwidth.

Ah, gotcha. Ok. Now I understand the use case.
I have created a new ticket for this here. I'm pretty busy for the next little while but will definitely consider this in the future.
