Hello,

I am trying to work my way through a tutorial that executes movie searches with the API, and I keep getting 401 results, so I am unable to proceed any further. My URL that I am sending with my http request is: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/Movie.search/en/xml/[API KEY]/gladiator

Is there something I am doing wrong in the formatting of the URL? I have a valid API Key.

Thanks, Shaun

Hi Shaun,

A few things. First, you're not making a valid APi request. The movie search URL is:

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=gladiator

Second, a 401 error would be caused from not sending a valid Accept header. If you take a look at our documentation and depending what language you are programming in, there's working examples for most popular ones. A working cURL request for example, looks like so:

curl --include --header "Accept: application/json" "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=gladiator"

Cheers.

I was a bit confused by the documentation regarding constructing a request URL. There's info on the endpoints, but not on how they fit into the URL itself. Just an idea for improvement going forward.
