Hi @Gunlol, to get assistance, please supply the api urls you are using. Replace your api key with a string like API_KEY or xxxxxxx.

const apiBaseUrl = `https://api.themoviedb.org/3`

as it says, this is the base URL

const searchMoviesEndpoint = `${apiBaseUrl}/search/movie?api_key=${apiKey}`

this is the URL end point i'm using. if i replace the movie with tv or multi (as in the documentation), i get an empty array as the result.

const apiCall = async (endpoint, params) => {
    const options = {
        method: 'GET',
        url:endpoint,
        params: params? params: {language: 'en-US'}
    }

    try {
        const response = await axios.request(options)
        return response.data

    }catch(error) {
        console.log("error: ", error)
        return {}
    }
}

this is the apiCall function i'm using

export const searchMovies = (params)=>{
    return apiCall(searchMoviesEndpoint, params);
}

this is the function for the search im using, that passes the parameters to the apiCall function above

Hi @Gunlol, all of these methods require a query string. For example:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=xxxxx&query=Fargo

That's why they aren't returning anything. Here is the doc:

https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-movie

https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-tv

https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-multi

small update, i managed to find out that i am getting a result back from the api call, but for some reason its not storing the result.

im using .map to go over the array that comes back from the api call, but i either have a problem with the .map function or the .length function.

im using react native expo, and the error im having is "cannot read property 'length' of undefined".

everything works fine when i have the endpoint set as: search/movie, but it doesn't work when i have it set as: search/tv or search/multi

Hi @robbie3999,would be glad if you could help me.

hi @Gunlol, I would be glad to help but I don't do javascript coding. I can provide you help with the tmdb api calls as needed.

A quick search of "cannot read property 'length' of undefined" for react/javascript shows this, it looks like you are trying to use the length property on something that is undefined or empty so check the value first before trying to use length.
