api calls not honoring parameters
Verfasst von Michael StubblefieldSTAFFMOD am 13. Juli 2016 um 19:16
I'm trying to query with parameters. For example:
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=KEY&year=1999
No matter what parameters I add to a query, it just returns the default output as if the added parameters were not there.
I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my api key? It's been a while.

So I just tried it in a browser and it works correctly. It is only giving me this problem with curl:
curl http://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=KEY&year=1999

so figured it out. if anyone sees the same issue, you need to quote the url from the command line. If not quoted, '&' is interpreted by bash.
