Inconsistency when searching for person on the website vs. the API
Skrevet af Mr_DemocracySTAFFMOD d. 19 maj 2025 kl. 1:14 PM
"Rena Yukie" gives one match when using the regular search https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Rena%20Yukie
But using the same query string on the API returns:
{'page': 1, 'results': [], 'total_pages': 1, 'total_results': 0}
Python code:
requests.get("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person", params={"query": "Rena Yukie", "language": "en-US", "page": 1}, headers=tmdb_headers)
This inconsistency doesn't happen for other people I've searched for through the API.

add "include_adult": true
the api says she's categorized as an adult performer? I'm not sure how to change that back.

Oh, okay I will do that! Thank you so much 🙏 Looking at the documentation I for some reason got the impression that was the default value, but I see now it says "Defaults to false" next to it.

This status is automatically assigned to people who have participated in films that have this Adult status.
Therefore, nothing can be done in the person's profile.
Also check if the following is selected in your personal profile:
Include Adult Items in Search? Yes
