Invalid api key
posted by ianhdSTAFFMOD on October 7, 2014 at 7:13 AM
I'm copy / pasting my api key that I've registered for to do a simple call, and the response I'm getting says it is invalid. Is there an extra step I need to take to get the API key that I have validated?
Here is the endpoint that I'm trying...
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key={myapikey}
Response is...
{"status_code":7,"status_message":"Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key."}

Hi ianhd,
If I try this request, with your API key (cut off the end, but just so you know I'm using yours) everything works as expected:
Make sure there's no spaces at the beginning or end of the copied key.
Cheers.
