The Movie Database Support

I have a script that uses TMDB API to gather collection information about movies for personal use. For the past week or two, I get this occasional error in curl: "curl: (6) Could not resolve host: api.themoviedb.org". When I change http://api.themoviedb.org/3 to http://54.225.210.229/3 in my script everything works fine. I am guessing that something is wrong with one of the addresses listed in DNS. Here is what I get when I do an nslookup:


$ nslookup api.themoviedb.org
Server:     127.0.1.1
Address:    127.0.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
api.themoviedb.org  canonical name = tm-api-prod-789738748.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.

I haven't tried all of the IPs listed as the first one I tried seems to work fine.

Hi hannaman72,

Yes, we use Amazon's ELB so everything is handled in their court. It's possible one of their servers is behaving poorly. Wouldn't be the first time 😉

I will pass this along to our ops team as I haven't heard any other reports about this yet.

Cheers.
