 Replying to [comment:4 nikunj8866]:
 > 🐞 **Bug Identified**: When running the endpoint `http://localhost:8889
 /wp-json/wp/v2/media?mime_type=video/mp4,` the API returns all media items
 instead of filtering to just video/mp4
 items(https://prnt.sc/uPL2rMgESFUx).

 Thanks @nikunj8866, for testing this out.

 However, my testing results were slightly different.
 I have `.mp4`, `.mov`, `.png`, and `.mp3` files in the media library.


 When I request - `http://localhost:8889/wp-
 json/wp/v2/media?mime_type=video/mp4`, then I get the expected results,
 which is a single item - `.mp4` file and not all the items.


 Here is a screencast of the same -

 Could you please maybe checkout the PR and test to see if you're getting
 the expected results or not.
