I am making several calls to your API like:
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=***
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/popular?api_key=***
- https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/popular?api_key=***
Using always the same method I get back the correct result. When I try to call :
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/person/16828?api_key=***
I get : {"status_code":34,"status_message":"The resource you requested could not be found."}
but I get this error only for this call and only from my application (httppost), from the browser it works fine. Do you have any suggest?
Thanks a lot, Giacomo

Hi Jim,
Are you requesting the data via a GET or a POST? Based on the
httppostyou mention, I'm inclined to think POST. All of the methods you mentioned should be called via a GET request. This would also explain why they work in your browser (it will be making a GET request if you're calling it manually).Cheers.
