Hi,

Thank you for all your effort in building up the database and the API.

I am trying to get list of Popular, Top Rated, Upcoming, Now Playing Movies,

Result of Popular And Top Rated is fine, But when i try to get list of Upcoming movies using this Query : https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming?api_key= ,

i got the result but it is different from the result in this page : https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/upcoming ,

then i tried to get list of Now Playing Movies using this Query : https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/now_playing?api_key= , here also result is different from the

result on website , one more thing i noticed some movies have release_date : 2016-04-07 and later but it is listed in Now Playing list, for Ex: The Jungle Book, Everybody Wants Some.. etc,

[ The Jungle Book is not there in Upcoming movie list ] , i want results similar like on website

i am new to this API, Please let me know where i made mistake....

Thanks in advance. :)

There's a small date calculation difference between the website version and the API version, it's something I will fix at some point but you can build this query yourself by using discover, and your own custom primary_release_date.gte and primary_release_date.lte values. That's all I'm doing ;)

hii Travis Bell,

Thanks for reply, I will try building this query using discover, and custom primary_release_date.gte and primary_release_date.lte values.
