The Movie Database Support

Hello,

I am trying to get the trailer for a given movie. I am aware of the endpoint https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id}/videos but this just gives a list of videos that could contain the trailer. Sometimes these videos are behind the scenes or making of videos for the movie, which I don't want. I am looking for a surefire way to get just the trailer(s) for a given movie.

In films that have a trailer, in the response look for the video that has the attribute " type "Trailer" "
