Hi.

I am wondering if it is possible to search the API for movies by a title and find the classification assigned to that movie?

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

Hi @jkm_,

You bet. You should take a look at the /release_dates method. A list of the officially supported certifications can be found here. This is useful to know if you're using any of the discover methods.

I don't seem to be able to do this? I only get the Adult (boolean) field back :(

It sounds like you're not parsing the JSON properly. Take a look at how you're parsing the response body.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=###
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550/release_dates?api_key=###

Or better yet, as a single call:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=###&append_to_response=release_dates
