The Movie Database Support

My application runs behind a fire wall and my IT department has asked me to provide a list of ip addresses that my application needs access to. When i nslookup api.themoviedb.org i get several results like this:

Non-authoritative answer:
api.themoviedb.org  canonical name = tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.
Name:   tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 54.225.223.192
Name:   tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 184.73.169.1
Name:   tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 50.16.214.131
Name:   tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 50.16.219.183
Name:   tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 54.225.240.233
Name:   tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 23.21.44.221
Name:   tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 54.243.170.179
Name:   tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
Address: 54.225.210.229

So it seems that the api is hosted in the amazon cloud. I had a similar issue with the search results and accessing images stored in amazon cloud front. For cloudfront I was able to find this list of ip address ranges: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=2051

I searched the amazon aws faq to see if there was a similar list for aws but had no luck.

Can you provide any insight into how the ip addresses for the api are configured?

Thanks!

Hi dadc.nms.cm,

We do indeed use AWS for everything. If you're IT department blocks everything by default and you simply need to white list, you'll probably have to just white list all of EC2. We use ELB but due to the way these instances work, the IPs that you see change over time. Here's a post about the IP ranges that EC2 use: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=1701#

Hope that helps.
