How to determine the final certification of a movie? I can obtain it here
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/movie-release-dates
But when I watch the detailed page of the movie, there will be a final selection and fixed certification,
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/552524-lilo-stitch，
May I ask what is the basis for determining and what is the logic behind the selection

There are no final certification.

The one that appear on the main page of a movie is simply the one associated with the released displayed behind.

For example, in this movie, the display on the page is "G", but the API returns many types.
I want to know the display logic on the page

I want to know the display logic on the page

I'm using my memory. Of a 73 year old.
So...

What certification is displayed on the main page of the film.

1 The one of your country, the country specified in your profile
If your country does not have a certification then
2 The certification of the country of origin of the film
If it does not have this certification then
3 The en-US certification

I'm not sure if the order of the last two (2 and 3) is this or reversed.

Some time ago we suggested adding the country of certification to the certification.

When you’re viewing the certification on main media header, another extra detail should be to see what country the rating is from.

There are plans to add this feature.
It's already on Trello's To-Do list.
There is no implementation deadline.
If you want you can vote. More votes, faster. :-)
