How does option year in discover works? Is it working wrong?

Hi everyone!!
I'm trying to get all movies from some years, for example movies from 2014. I'm calling the API with the option discover and parameter year: 2014 but I'm getting movies from 20th century.
I already know that I have an option to get movies by release year, but i would like to know if it is possible to know how does year parameter work and which is the difference between year, primary_release_year and release_date.
Thank you very much!!

Using the
yearfilter looks at all of the release dates added to a movie so you're including all countries and types. So yes, you will no doubt be getting some data back for things like physical or digital releases in 2014 when in fact the movies was released in the 80's.You should use the
primary_release_yearfilter to only look at the primary release dates. You can of course also use thewith_release_typefilter to narrow results to only theatrical data for instance.Contestado por eduard.casellas

Ok! Thank you very much Travis! It is what I thought, I'll use primary_release_year then!
