Hi!
Is there a way to search only for scripted tv series? I'd also love to be able to filter results by if it's still in production or not. Do I have to call another request for each individual result to accomplish that? That'd be probably too intense on the server.
Thanks for any info and for your time! It's appreciated.
Eric

I believe only using Discover.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/discover-tv
There are two filter options.
TV Show Status (&with_status - ID string)
TV Show Type (&with_type - ID string)

Thanks! Is it me or the search is kind of weird on discover? Like, if i write "house" in the keywords (is there no "query" parameter?), I'll get every items that has "house" written somewhere irrelevant and big tv series like "house" or "house of the dragon" will come late.

The "Search" API Request is used when you search for a movie or TV show title,
or when you search for the name of a person, network, production company, etc...
The possible filters are those on each Request page.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-collection
Collection
Company
Keyword
Movie
Multi
Person
TV
The "Discover" API Request does not have a "query" field.
It is used when searching for a universe of items by filtering through the various possibilities.
For example. which films premiered in my country in 1963, starring Marlon Brando and which were comedies.
The "with_keywords" filter is used to filter for user-created keywords. And it works with the keyword ID.
Therefore writing "house" in the keywors filter has no effect. It is ignored.

But only Discover can filter series by the "scripted" condition, your initial order.
In Discover there is a filter that has not yet been documented,
because it has not yet been fully tested and verified, that could perhaps help you.
&with_text_query={any text}
This one I think searches for text in Title, Tagline and Overview.
