TMDb API - primary release year

[kim]

Movies search (lookup):
Maybe it's a good idea to use

Code: Select all

primary_release_year

instead of just

Code: Select all

year

and then use year only if no result ?

why?
to minimize false positives
year = All years in "Release Information" e.g. 1956 and 1957
primary_release_year = Only the "main" year e.g. (1956)

e.g.
query=1984 = "Nineteen Eighty-Four"
"wrong" movie so add year...
now year=1957 and year=1956 get a result,
this can give false positives I think ?

but use primary_release_year=1956 and primary_release_year=1957
only 1956 gives results

I don't have a better e.g. now, but you get the point

Please post example example file paths for testing where we get false positives with current behaviour but are likely fixed by the proposed change in behaviour.
