API Fetching issue
I am getting this Error , while trying to fetch the API

First run a test to see if your API Key has a problem.

Take a Test

Click to go to your Profile > API: https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api
At the bottom of the page, below, you'll find the Example API Request.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=THE_KEY
Use this example to do a search using your browser.
You will receive the basic data of the Movie Fight Club (1999)
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/550-fight-club
If it works, your Key is OK.

If it does not work, let us know right here.

Hi, I had the same error today on my localhost and netlify versions of my app. In my case the problem was the browser (Brave browser) itself and its plugins. I've had to disable ghostery, ublock origin and built in Brave option to block adverst and other stuff. When the plugins are disabled fetching movies works like it should.

In my case I don't have any plugins. Even if I try to use the example API request on my browser or on Postman i get this Invalid API key error.

If you did the test with the Example Request and received this response, then I believe that your API Key is indeed in trouble.
It needs to be regenerated.
And in this case only Administrator Travis Bell can solve the problem.
Let's wait for him to come by.
I'm going to add the word Regenerate in the title of this conversation to get his attention.

Alright thank you. I will be waiting for Travis attention.

Hi @Sbonelobour,

I'm not seeing any issues with your API key. I've truncated it here for privacy reasons but the full key is working:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=f450606a8e62############

Hi Travis,

I can see it working now. Not really sure what happened.

Thank you.

Kind Regards

Buen dia. Estoy presentando el mismo problema con mi apikey.

Hi @lisreyes, In order to get help, you need to provide the api URL you are calling and the error message that you get. Hide your private api key with a string like "API_KEY" or "xxxxxx".

Hola, hago la prueba desde el sitio y lo que me lanza es "Sorry you couldn't be authenticated with those credentials"
