"title":"Ã\u2020on Flux"

This isn't properly encoded or UTF8.

Not sure if this page will display properly, but the original is 'Æon Flux'

Hi Edgar,

I can't seem to reproduce this. Here's the cURL output for Aeon Flux:

Which has the correct entity.

It looks to me like you're not using a JSON library that is handling the UTF-8 entities properly. Take a look at this Gist for an example of what I just tried.

And if I reference this UTF-8 table, \xc3\x86 is the valid UTF-8 entity for Æ.

Very sorry I'm wrong here. My Java IDE was not set to UTF-8 so it was messing up the received data.

No worries!

Hello, can anybody please tell me an example of a json document request for a particular movie details such as it poster picture and genre and cast? The http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/ does not give a very helpful example. I want a JSON returned data which i can use to display details. Thank you

HI Chukwuka,

Would you mind going to the API forum and creating a new thread? That way we can keep conversations straight and in one place. Unfortunately I can't move just a single post into a new thread so this is something you'll need to do.

Hi Travis, I just opened a new thread now. It's called "Help needed for JSON image and data parsing example "
