The Movie Database Support

Hello, I am having a problem with a route that before worked but now after 6 months it doesn't work well.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=MI_API_KEY&language=es-ES&with_genres=80

Before that route returns the movie popular list that contains the genre 80. Right now it doesn't matter what genre number I put on it because it returns the list of popular movies regardless of the genre. Has there been any change or is there no solution?

I believe that using Popular API Request it was never possible to filter using genre.
Not that I know.
I don't see this feature on the page in DOCs.

What you can do is use Discover, filtering for one or more genres and specifying "&sort_by=popularity.desc".

At the moment when I was an app it had been worked but few days ago when I opened it that it was not work but the idea that you wrote in the last line it's a good idea for change in my code. Thank you so much!!!

What's not working? This query:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_genres=80

Is working properly, so what query are you using?

I used this query:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=MI_API_KEY&language=es-ES&with_genres=80

But the idea that you and @ticao2 have written it's works well in my code. Thank you!
