How do I get movie data through genres
I'm new to programming, so I don't really know how to formulate this question, thanks

Making a Discover API Request.
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie-discover
Numerous filters are available and among them filter by Genre.

Discover - Filter by Genre

Tip: For TV Show the procedure is similar.

First you need to have the list of Genres with their IDs.

The list of Genre IDs, for Movies and TV, can be found here:
get/genre/movie/list - https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/genres/get-movie-list
get/genre/tv/list - https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/genres/get-tv-list

For example, the Comedy Genre ID for movies is 35.

Knowing the Genre ID you want, make an API Request of type get / discover / movie
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie-discover
And use the with_genres and/or without_genres parameter.
More than one genre can be searched using the comma or pipe feature

Also note that a number of filters support being comma (,) or pipe (|) separated.
Comma's are treated like an AND and query while Pipe's are an OR.

AND (with Comma) &with_genres=35.53,27
OR (with Pipe) &with_genres=35|53|27
You can use any other filter simultaneously. &year=, &sort_by=, &with_cast= etc...

Example

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=THE_KEY&language=en-US&sort_by=release_date.desc&page=1&with_genres=35,53,27

tysm this really helped my project. Btw what do the last 2 numbers mean seperated by commas. Thank you in advance
