Im making an application thats was inspired by your game. It's an app that you type 2 different actors and it returns the shortest path between these 2 actors (kinda a hack to your game lol). Im having an issue. Im not being able to discard the documentaries when the api searches, how did you do it?

Hi Fernando, that project sounds awesome! Telling you the shortest path is a feature request for Connect the Stars but I never got a chance to prioritize it.

For discarding documentaries, you can check a film's genres, and discard any documentaries (on TMDB, this is genre id 99). I filter these out after getting API results, I don't think there's a way to specify within the API query.
