Hi! I'm trying to pull all links to trailers in your API and noticed some responses that I cant explain: 1) TMDBID=2 has video listed as false from the the details endpoint, and NULL returns when I hit the videos endpoint. However, on your site, that movie has a trailer. Am I looking at it wrong, or is some data withheld from the API, or is it a bug? 2) TMDBID-3 has video listed as false from the details endpoint, but has a video when I hit the videos endpoint. same questions as above.
Please let me know at your convenience, and thank you so much!

Hi Ticao! I'm pulling it right from the API Reference page. I noticed that "en_US" is set by default so tried without that and still got nothing. Are you seeing something different? How are you getting a trailer URL for ID=5 from the API reference page? And I had a brain fart with the ID for the second example,, it was TMDBID-5. I guess that second question upon further reflection was what does the "video" value signify in the details endpoint. I originally thought it indicated if it had a video, but i guess it means something different?

Correct, it does not mean that there are videos. The definition of what a video is can be found here.

Thanks Travis, that makes alot of sense... and ticao2s comment is on point as well. I wasnt using a language parameter so it defaulted to US. however there was a german langauge video that shows up when I specify "de-DE" so the results make sense to me... I do have one other question though regarding the videos endpoint:
For example: movie id 17 only returns this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdCLtwSSIh (which is no longer available) when i check the tmdb site though, I can confirm that the link to watch the trailer is also broken however, there is one video in the media section with this link: https://youtu.be/2PQmZGf36DE. but this link is not exposed in the API.
Am I looking in the wrong place to expect to see: 2PQmZGf36DE Also, is there an easy way I can feed back my findings back to the API (videos no longer available, etc...) so I'm helping to keep things tidy?

It is on the Czech language : cs-CZ
You need to file a content report (Overview -> Report) on the corresponding movie page.
