Hi Luke,

I'm not sure. Everything looks fine to me. How are you making the request?

tbell$ curl -v "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list?api_key=###"

Here it is:

var promise = $.Deferred();
    Ember.$.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list&api_key=#####',
        async: false,
        contentType: 'application/json',
        dataType: 'jsonp'
    }).then(function (response) {
        console.log(response)
        promise.resolve(response);
    })
    return promise.promise();
}

Even though you have your dataType set to jsonp, is is sending along a callback?

This test of mine here is working fine (make sure to replace your API key on line 11).

I am using the api in many other instances, genre has been the only on genre. I see that you added a query at the end, is that necessary? I am trying to get the list of genres to use for the movies gennre codes that I get.

No, it is not necessary. It was accidentally left from a previous example.

Cannot GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list&api_key=####?callback=jQuery22408132628371243029_1471207855881&_=1471207855884

That's not a valid HTTP request. You're looking for:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list?api_key=####&callback=jQuery22408132628371243029_1471207855881&_=1471207855884

forgive me. I am not seeing a difference between your request and my request

You're starting your query string with an ampersand. That's not valid HTTP, so it's ignoring your API key param and only reading from the question mark and on. In my example, I fixed that for you.

thanks for your help. that fixed it
