Hi Brad,

I just gave this a spin and had no problems adding and removing items from my favourite list. Here's an example request to remove the item from my favourite list:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/11/favorite?session_id=###&api_key=###

POST Body:

{ "media_type": "movie", "media_id": 284054, "favorite": false }

Are you making sure your values for media_id and favorite are a integer and boolean?

HI Travis,

That how look my endpoint :
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/11/favorite?session_id=######&api_key=#######

And i have the same body as you wrote above but actually i receive The same message as in previous time.

{ "media_type": "movie", "media_id": 284054, "favorite": false }

I can mark movie as favorite, but i can remove it from favorite, but the main difference between two calls is last value of the body, we have to change just boolean value from TRUE to FALSE.

But it's not working ... May bу there are anything else can be wrong? Kind regards, Brad.

Are you able to run these cURL commands? Here's the 4 that I just ran that are working properly:

Add to my favourite list:

$ curl -X POST \
>   "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/548/favorite?api_key=###&session_id=###" \
>   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
>   -d '{ "media_type": "movie", "media_id": 284054, "favorite": true }'

{
  "status_code": 12,
  "status_message": "The item/record was updated successfully."
}

Check my favourite list, notice 284054 is first in my list. Also note that I added a sort_by=created_at.desc param to make sure I am getting items sorted that are newest added first.

$ curl -X GET \
>   "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/548/favorite/movies?api_key=###&session_id=###&sort_by=created_at.desc"

Then I remove the item:

$ curl -X POST \

>   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

{
  "status_code": 13,
  "status_message": "The item/record was deleted successfully."
}

And finally call my list one last time to see that the item is removed:

$ curl -X GET \
>   "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/548/favorite/movies?api_key=###&session_id=###&sort_by=created_at.desc"

I have the same issue, I just change the favorite to false for removing the specific movie from my favorite movies list but it is not working... can you help me out in it?
