The Movie Database Support

Hi,

I've noticed a slight difference in the releases data associated with a movie depending upon how the data is fetched.

When I use this API:

/movie/{movie_id}?append_to_response=releases

I get a list of release dates, but there is no "type" integer property. Instead there is a "primary" boolean property, and after reviewing a few responses it looks to only contain theater releases.

When I use this API:

/movie/{movie_id}/release_dates

I get a list of release dates with the "type" integer property, and it appears to contain releases for different types (theater, DVD, etc..)

Can you clarify if this is correct? Is the append_to_response for releases not the same data as the release_dates API.

Thanks,

Hi Mathew,

Releases is the old, deprecated method. There's no real reason to use it anymore. You can assume what is documented is the proper, current version of things. I would stick with the newer, /release_dates method. It contains all the newer data like release types.

You can of course use it with append_to_response as well 😉

Oh that's great. thank you!
