Limit show search by year premiered

I looked, but I cant see a way to do this.

Taking "Doctor Who" as an obvious example

"https://api.tvmaze.com/search/shows?q=doctor%20who" works as expected, but you get about 10 results for all years.

I want to do something like this "https://api.tvmaze.com/search/shows?q=doctor%20who&year=2023"

This would just return shows that have a premiere date where the year is 2023 (two results I believe).

This is indeed not possible. The idea is that the API calls are as generic as possible so they can easily be cached, which curbs the resource costs involved with providing this free service. You can perform filtering like this on the client side, by comparing the properties such as premiered.
