The Movie Database Support

Hello, can someone explain me how find function works in themoviedb API ? First I search movie by name, then I fetch ID and I want to use find, however it doesn't work for me.

According to documentation I need to call

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/id?api_key=XXX
but I get
{"status_code":6,"status_message":"Invalid id: The pre-requisite id is invalid or not found."}

I had this problem a few months ago and I found somewhere that I needed to change above request to

http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/id
but it's not documented this way.

Thanks in advance

Lets say you're looking for the TMDb record that has the IMDB ID of tt2109248. This would be the query you're after:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/tt2109248?api_key=###&external_source=imdb_id

Cheers.
