The Movie Database Support

I want to sort movies by rating I am using the following link : http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?sort_by=vote_count.desc&api_key=API_KEY&page=1

I have replaced my api key with API_KEY But in result I am not getting movies, I am getting show ratings.

Hi rajsuvariya,

You are currently sorting by the number of votes, not the vote value. If you want to sort by rating use the vote_average.desc sort option.

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?sort_by=vote_average.desc&api_key=###&page=1

You might find it useful to filter with a minimum number of votes, something like this:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?sort_by=vote_average.desc&api_key=###&page=1&vote_count.gte=50

Hope that helps.

Hi Travis,

Thank you for the help, the link given by you is giving me correct output.

Hey Travis,

I've noticed that when I try to filter movie by ratings using both 'vote_average.gte' and 'vote_average.lte', I get no results back. Is the anyway to use both? For example, I want to get movies with vote_average.gte=2 AND vote_average.lte=8 without looping Ajax requests.

Hi Ken,

This request looks to be working for me:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&vote_average.gte=2.0&vote_average.lte=8.0

Hi Travis, is there a way to invert the search result such that it delivers the lowest ratings first?

@jasonbcox Sure, you can use the sort_by option. You can see all of the available sort options in the docs.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&vote_average.gte=2.0&vote_average.lte=8.0&sort_by=vote_average.asc

Hey Travis, how can I rank on popularity? when the user gives a keyword to search, I need to fetch the result and rank it on popularity.

@minhaj-ap If you're using a /search request, this is not possible. The only query you can make where you can control the sort options is /discover. You can use discover with the with_keywords filter. Queries are automatically sorted by popularity.
