The Movie Database Support

Hey Travis, Hope everything's going great for you :)

I have been playing around with API and noticed that when searched for a movie with the release year in the query string, it returns no results.
For example : https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/company?api_key=API_KEY&query=Gravity%202013&page=1
returns :

{
  "page": 1,
  "results": [],
  "total_pages": 1,
  "total_results": 0
}

This even happens on the website ( I never noticed it). I think the year should be considered in narrowing the results. Its not a feature that I am suggesting, but I think there should be some way around it (better pattern matching perhaps) so that the user doesn't get blank results .

This problem occurred when my python script query'd using the filename (minus the extension) which had years in it (eg. "Gravity (2013)")

There is the y:2013 option for search on the website. I can't help you wth the API.

We don't support adding the year as part of the search query. You can however use the year or primary_release_year params as per the documentation. wink
