Hi,
I just requested an individual developer api_key, which I instantly got.
I am know trying to use it on http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/. What I did so far:
- Requested a guest request_token
- Requested a
session_idusing myapi_keyandrequest_token - Tried to do movie/search with the following parameters:
api_key,query= "The Martian" on the Mock Server. The only result I get is about "Fight Club".
What I am trying to do is to get a list of movie corresponding to "The Martian".
Also, when I try the same requests on Production, I get an error message saying:
{ "status_code": 7, "status_message": "Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key." }
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help. Thomas

Hi Salvador,
Thank you very much for your answer. As mentioned in my first post, I was using http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/ (Console mode), so I didn't type any code yet as I wanted to check if it was delivering what I needed.
Thanks. Thomas

Hi thomagr,
You're going to have trouble using Apiary's console because our docs haven't been updated to their latest version which is required to use HTTP parameters. For regular (non account/guest session) requests you only need an API key. You can see your API key is working by making a HTTP request in your browser (skip Apiary altogether, replace ### with your API key):
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=the+martian
Cheers.
