How do I use the poster_path
Inlagt av ntfalcone93STAFFMOD den 24 mars 2016 vid 11:27 AM
When I use the movie/id url (http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/id) I am given the poster path like so "/2lECpi35Hnbpa4y46JX0aY3AWTy.jpg". I am wondering what the base url is, and/or what the whole url I would use to get the image. Thanks
Here is what i'm given from my url (http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/275?api_key={APIKEY})

Hi ntfalcone93,
You can read about how to build image URLs here: http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/#reference/configuration
Cheers.

Hi you have to use the configuration request (look at the above answer by @ntfalcone93) to get the base_url of the image. You also need to specify which size format you need it. They are in the image dictionary provided in the JSON response for the configuration. This is the configuration request link I used: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/configuration?api_key=MYAPIKEY
this is what my image url looks like: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/ (The base url) w300/ (the size param) w93GAiq860UjmgR6tU9h2T24vaV.jpg (image link). Obviously without the spaces and the brackets:)
