Create list in API v4 with jQuery
posted by CyroSTAFFMOD on March 31, 2017 at 5:01 PM
I'm getting this error with jQuery (I was able to create the list with PHP):
OPTIONS https://api.themoviedb.org/4/list 401 (Unauthorized) XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.themoviedb.org/4/list. Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 401
Someone help me?
jQuery does not work
var settings = {
'async': true,
'crossDomain': true,
'url': 'https://api.themoviedb.org/4/lists',
'method': 'POST',
'headers': {
'authorization': 'Bearer TOKENxxXxxxxXxxXXx',
'content-type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8'
},
'processData': false,
'data': "{\"name\":\"My Cool List\",\"iso_639_1\":\"en\"}"
};
$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
PHP Works
function create_list($access_token) {
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.themoviedb.org/4/list",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "{\"name\":\"My Cool List\",\"iso_639_1\":\"en\"}",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"authorization: Bearer $access_token",
"content-type: application/json;charset=utf-8"
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
return json_decode($response);
}
}

I can get this fixed. I need to add the pre-flight options in. I'll see about getting this done this weekend.

Im having an issue related to "pre-flight" not sure if its the same thing or not -- but there wasn't a response to my post so I just thought I would bring it up here.

Fixes for this should be live.
I pushed 2 small test scripts to verify all of this which can be seen here:

(Edited) It works! My first test failed because I put my token and not access token, sorry and thanks!

Make sure you're authorising a new token with write privileges from a user account. You can use my auth script above to do that.
I've walked through the entire process with those 2 scripts and can guarantee it works.

Travis, I'm getting this error when I try do delete the list. (Other methods are working).

Give it a try now.
According to this spec doc, the wildcard (*) value I was using before doesn't work in Chrome or Firefox. It seemed fine in Safari (my main browser) so I didn't see this issue.

It works! Thanks!
Travis, could you check the other list and account methods as well?
