The Movie Database Support

This plain call to discover works - it sorts the returned movies by their popularity, but when I add a keyword (christmas, for instance), it returns movies that have the indicated keyword in it, but they aren't sorted.

Hi @atarihomestar,

You likely made a request during one of our daily re-indexes. I'm seeing them being returned in order now.

pry(main)> uri = Addressable::URI.parse("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&include_adult=false&include_video=false&language=en-US&page=1&sort_by=popularity.desc&with_keywords=207317")
pry(main)> parsed_response = JSON.parse(Net::HTTP.get(uri))
pry(main)> parsed_response["results"].map { |item| item["popularity"] }
  => [234.038, 212.188, 181.008, 166.136, 151.936, 148.551, 147.953, 143.056, 134.676, 128.413, 124.034, 114.867, 114.857, 112.483, 111.837, 111.71, 104.058, 91.635, 90.019, 85.127]
