Search API for specific movie name
објављено од стране Lighthouse50STAFFMOD дана 12. фебруар 2017. у 8:19 AM
Hi, I just joined The Movie Database.
I understand I can search by a movie title, like this:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=red
However, it brings up multiple movies (Red, Rojo, Rood e.g).
How can I literally just get information about a movie which matches the exact query? (In this case, Red).
Cheers.

Hi @Lighthouse50 Welcome!
You can't. Search is designed to be pretty good about showing the best match first but it won't always get it right. One way to help would be to add a year (if you know it) otherwise it's more of a fuzzy search.

Hi Travis,
What do you mean by fuzzy search? The movie name in the query will always be correct (not like enter part of the movie name). Are you sure there's no way to literally only display if it matches the exact query?

It's an ngram search from the start of a title. The website user the API so you can see exactly how it works by testing it here.
I do not have any logic built to accommodate exact searching.

@Lighthouse50 ; an idea: You can always iterate the results and check for exact title matches on the client side.

I know this is really old., but I made an NPM to help with this... https://www.npmjs.com/package/identify-media, you feed it the filename with year and everything else in it and it tries to identify what is movie, what is release year, and what is "other" (info like director's cut, or extended, etc.) and what can be ignored. It works pretty well. I have also added functions to search opensubtitles with hash...
