discover/movies endpoint- difference between "primary release date" and "release date" and their relation with the "release date" returned by the movie details endpoint
Inlagt av psyllogismSTAFFMOD den 6 juni 2024 vid 10:24 AM
Hi!
The "discover/movies" endpoint has parameters for the "primary_release_date.{lte/gte}" and "release_date.{lte/gte}". What's the difference?
Then if I take an id returned by the discover/movies endpoint and query the movie details for that id, I get just a "release_date" field. Is that a "primary" release date, or something else?
Thanks!

release_date refer to all the release dates listed on the release dates page.
primary_release_date is the main release date as displayed in parenthesis after the title.
