The Movie Database Support

Hello,

I am trying a test out on the API to call for data on a single individual, Brad Pitt, in this test. I use myAPI key with the following url: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/nm0000093?api_key=[removed for obvious reasons] and I get the following results returned to me:

{"status_code":6,"status_message":"Invalid id - The pre-requisite id is invalid or not found"}

I've have tried a number of people and the example at http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#people and I get the same error.

Can anyone point out my error, or what I may be missing here?

Thank you,

c

I don't believe I have a person lookup with an IMDB id hooked up. You have to use a TMDb ID, ie.

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/287?api_key=###

Cheers.

Hi Travis,

Thank you for the reply. I will check in on the TMDb ID. Is there any chance of getting a IMDB ID lookup for person?

Cheers,

Hard to say, we don't even publicize the the fact that the movie method supports this and that is completely deliberate. I'll have to give it some thought.

Understood. Cheers.
