The Movie Database Support

Hey Team,
Was wondering if we can filter movies by their release dates on the streaming platforms.
Any help/direction to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

The solution is on the Discover instructions page. https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/discover-movie

Advanced Filtering
If you specify the region parameter, the regional release date will be used instead of the primary release date. The date returned will be the first date based on your query (ie. if a with_release_type is specified). It's important to note the order of the release types that are used. Specifying 2|3 would return the limited theatrical release date as opposed to 3|2 which would return the theatrical date.

I believe that using the filters should partially solve your problem.
region
with_release_type
In this case, using 4 Digital

MOVIES - Release Type

ID  Release Type
1   Premiere
2   Theatrical (limited)
3   Theatrical
4   Digital
5   Physical
6   TV

In Discover API use &with_release_type
