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.

Want to rate or add this item to a list?

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

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 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.Reply by minhaj-ap

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 thewith_keywords
filter. Queries are automatically sorted by popularity.
