Can't get TV show by external ID

I tried
/3/find/{id}?api_key=###
as described in the API documentation. Tried it with many different shows (tvdb and imdb ids).
I always get following response:
{"status_code":6,"status_message":"Invalid id - The pre-requisite id is invalid or not found"}
What am I doing wrong?

You're not specifying the
?external_sourceparam.Cheers.
