The Movie Database Support

Hi,

I am looking for a way to find movies which were released on a specific day, but in all years.

After looking through the API docs, I have found that probably /discover/movies is my best chance of retrieving that information. I have managed to narrow down the parameters for finding movies released in a day, however I can only query for a specific year as I am using lte & gte query parameters.

Example request with relevant parameters for finding movies released on 27th of March 1999.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?primary_release_date.gte=1999-03-26&primary_release_date.lte=1999-03-28

If I want to also check for 27th of March between the years 1950 and 1999 that will mean sending another 48 requests. Apart from being wasteful, I assume I might also get rate limited.

Is there a better way to find the information I am looking for?

Thank you.

Hi @QuartzChrome,

Unfortunately there is no way other than making a request for every year.

All right, thanks for the response @travisbell 🙏
