Any way to stop adult movies from appearing through https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id}

I was wondering if there was a way for my account to block these type of searches. The only parameter that this allows is for a movie ID. I have a bunch of users looking up these films that I do not want to happen.

For example this movie is appearing as Adult = No but it clearly is an adult film ID: 1055110

That movie is (probably--I haven't seen it) not adult in regards to what we consider to be adult. The details about what we consider to be adult can be found in our contribution bible. Adult is really just reserved for hardcore pornography.

Ok, I see. So there are no ways to avoid this appearing on my site then?

It looks like a bunch of these movies have the tag "pink film" on them. You could filter those out if they have that keyword (id 159551) but this relies on users marking the movies as such, which is definitely not going to be 100%.

Yeah, thank you. I guess I will try that for now I guess. Unfortunate that there is no way to hide these completely but I understand on your end that its not something you can enable.
