I'm pretty sure then, it's gotta be the anti-abuse system kicking in. What is specific example movie id and rating that is currently throwing the 500 right now?

You, Me and Dupree throws the 500 error (no matter what rating I try) for both session IDs I posted earlier (I use these IDs for debug). Right now this movie is rated by 4 users, 2 of them are my ratings (from the above mentioned session IDs)

Pavel,

I need you to generate a new session ID and record for me in order, every request you make until it starts throwing an error.

I have tested this until I'm blue in the face and cannot make it error. I've created new and editing existing ratings, well over 20 times on "You, Me and Dupree (1819)" and everything is working fine.

If you could pass me every step you did until it errors I can see what's going. Somehow you're saving an invalid rating but I can't track it down.

P.S. I have deleted your 2 guest sessions (and associated ratings).

Thanks Travis for all the efforts!

This is the new session ID I'm using 6d033ea768262efcfe1b6c41ec8d189a. In general I use integer from 1 to 10 (I've excluded 0) to post rating.

I've rated You, Me and Dupree (2006) with 6 and got status code 201 with TMDB status code 1 (Success). I've changed the rating to 5 and got status code 201 with TMDB status code 12 (The item/record was updated successfully). I've changed the rating back to 6 and got status code 500. Now no matter what I do for this specific movie I continue getting 500 error.

I've tried this on Doubt (2008) as well. In this case I was able to create rating (5), update to 6, update again to 5 and that's it. Any further updates result in 500 error.

There were movies (using previous IDs) that I was able to update 6-7 times but eventually I was getting 500 on all of them.

I must admit that I know that it's extreme condition since most users will never even update once their rating so if you think it's not worse wasting time on this issue - I'll understand.

Ok, I tracked this down. The big thing was you said integers, and I was always using floats.

I am now coercing the value to a float, no matter what. This hasn't gone to production yet but will probably make it up later today.

Thanks.

Have you made the change? I've just tried with Meet Joe Black (1998). Once again it was successful rating and one successful update. Starting second update and on I'm still receiving 500.

No, it hasn't been pushed. You can simply change all of your ratings to floats which will fix it as well.

No guarantees that this will fix your previously rated movies, but should fix everything for new ratings.

Hi all. I"m new here. I wanted to start playing around with the TMDB api and have applied for an API key, but I haven't heard anything yet. How long does it take. I don't want to publish anything yet I just want to get a developer key. Any thoughts?

We've been getting slammed this past week, hundreds of requests per day. I used to be able to get things cleared out within 12 hours but this past week it's been closer to 48 hours.

Hi Travis,

As I said, I'm new - I didn't know you worked this site! Just wanted to see if how long the process took. Now I know you are working as fast as you can on these things. Wonder why the spike in requests? Hmm.

Anyhow - have a great day and I look forward to working with tmdb in my development effort.

Travis,

You're the king! I've changed the posting rating to float and it's working!

I think you can close this discussion.

Thanks!
