Hey guys,
At this time, we only support a specific list of countries for TV certifications. They are as follows:
If you would like to see a missing country added, let me know below. I've been using this guide on Wikipedia as a reference.

Hi, I would like Germany added. Problematic would be that in germany every episode has to be rated. As an conclusion I would say that the highest rating would be the one of the series.

Hi,
Germany doesn't seem to have much listed on the Wikipedia article. Is there a more definitive source of the available ratings?

How do you get TV content certifications? I don't see that anywhere in the API docs. Am I missing it?

Hey goodeyesoftware,
Nope, youโre not missing anything. Thereโs an open ticket for this here. I hope to find time to look at this sometime this week.
Cheers.

The German TV certifications are similar but not identical to the movie certifications. Basically we have two categories that have a real impact on air times and three categories that have no real impact:

p.s.: It's really funny: here in Germany, there is streamed content on the websites of the broadcasters that is accessible only between certain times.
p.p.s.: OK - I did not write it explicitly: also I would like to see German certifications in TMDB ;-)

I'd like the Netherlands to be added. It seems very similar to the Australian system: an age based system with additional theme markers.
How will you be approaching this? Different countries will have different ratings for the same content and even different rating systems. What if the rating for a specific country isn't available? falling back onto an age rating of a different country might be incorrect. Although anything probably is better than returning no rating at all.
Will/can it be used to filter results? like the "Include Adult Items in Search" option currently does? Will it replace the current "adult" flag? (What does the adult flag currently even mean, given that the highest rating varies from 16+ (Netherlands) to 25+ (Maldives). And even if we could come to an agreement on what 'adult' is, There is a big difference between what is suitable for a toddler or a teen. The current 'adult' flag incorrectly seems to imply that everything that is not considered 'adult' content, is suitable for all ages.) If the adult flag remains for compatibility reasons, but becomes derived from the rating, 'adult' should probably mean "the highest rating in the rating system used". But the adult flag is fundamentally flawed/useless. The highest rating in any system will mean "above this age you are able to decide for your self, below this age you need/want the rating system for your own protection". Saying you are not an adult should imply that only content suitable for your age should be displayed and because you don't specify your age by saying you're 'not an adult' (and thus want/need the help of the rating system to decide what is suitable for you), the proper thing to do would be to display only content rated "all ages" (which would be silly). The current 'adult' flag seems not so much designed to protect children, but rather to censor adults (others or themselves), which is more a religious/cultural thing than a child protection thing. The adult flag (and google's safesearch and systems alike) only imply "content that we would rather have didn't exist at all" instead of protecting children. It protects the 16-17 year old against 18+ content, but doesn't protect 0-16 year old against 16+ content, while they need more protection that a 16 year old does.
BTW. I'm implementing a parental control feature and just the adult flag is not enough for a parent to specify what his/her child may watch. I greatly welcome the addition of a proper rating system.

Hello
I wish they would add Brazil.
In the movies I'm adding in TMDB, to differentiate the certification of Portugal, I am putting the certification as follows:
Maybe in the future we may have to vary by country. Not only by language.
The language is Portuguese. Spoken in Portugal and Brazil.
This causes problems with different titles and different certification.

I see that the tv certification list is now live. How do you retrieve the certification for a particular tv series? There doesn't seem to be a "releases" dataset that contains it like there is for movies.

I thought I had hooked this up but admittedly, I donโt think I did :|
Iโm on vacation right but will look at this when I get back into the office next week.
