The Movie Database Support

Hi,

I wonder if I can make an api call for upcoming movies and exclude movies that don't have any trailer?

Thank Bennie

Hi Bennie,

There's no way to query for that data right now. It could be helpful to know what movies/TV shows don't' have trailers though. I'll give this some thought.

Hey Bennie,

What i've done is just excluded them in my code, when videos array comes back empty, then I ignore that movie (in your case). It is extra info too pull for no reason, but it seems like the most logical situation. Sad to see that so many movies are missing trailers. (from what I've pulled so far)

Thanks for quick reply @travisbell @timothymarois , it is like what timothmarios says, there is alot of movies that don't have trailers or covers. It would be great if there where an option in the api call that can exclude these videos.

@timothymarois I am now ignoring the movies that don't have any trailer, thanks for the info :-) But the negative in this is that we have 40 requests every 10 seconds.

@travisbell Also I have one more question, regarding the upcoming movies, when I pull a request I get movies that have already been released, in my request I have the option religion "us" Am I doing this wrong?

Thanks for the good work Bennie

I would switch to using discover instead of the upcoming method. Upcoming is just a discover qurey behind the scenes, so if you are feeling like you need to make some adjustments, it's the way to go.

Region + release_date + with_release_type should get you where you want to be.
