Hello Travis,
First of all a million thanks for your great APIs.
I was wondering if TMDb would develop Filter and Sort APIs too in the future. For instance, one could sort the movies based on Average votes or vote count. Or sort Movies in Alphabetical order or based on release date.
In case of Filter APIs, one could filter the movies based on the Genre. The user might filter movies based on 'Action' or 'Comedy' Genre.
This would be a great project for TMDb.
I have also recently published my Android App called Movie Maniac.
I have attributed TMDb as the content provider and followed all the TMDb policies for attribution. I have also mentioned TMDb in the app description in play store.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards, Adithya

Hi Adithya,
Yup, it sounds like you're looking for our discover API's: http://themoviedb.api-docs.io/3/discover
P.S. you might notice these are different docs than what is otherwise advertised around TMDb. I will be pushing these as the new docs this week and will be retiring the ones found on Apiary so I thought I would link you to them instead.

Hello Travis,
Thank you for sharing the new documentation :)
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Just out of curiosity, what technology and database is used by the TMDb backend APIs? Is it Java Spring and Hibernate with MySQL, NodeJS or some other technology?
Thank you.
Regards, Adithya

Hi Aditya,
The API's are a mix of Ruby + MongoDB and Lua + MySQL—there's 2 different platforms in use. All of the new stuff I write is Lua though, and the beginnings of the v4 API are all on the new platform.
