The Movie Database Support

im try to make a call with a nodeJs server but the results is empty.

this is my code :

import fetch from "node-fetch";
import "dotenv/config";

export const search = async (req, res, next) => {
  try {
    const url = `https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?api_key=${process.env.TMDB_API_KEY}&query=${req.params.search}&language=en-US`;
    const result = await fetch(url);
    const data = await result.json();
    return res.status(200).json(data);
  } catch (err) {
    return next(err);
  } 
};

returns:

{ page: 1, results: [], total_pages: 1, total_results: 0 }

thx for helping

Hi @itachouille, I would suspect that your query string "${req.params.search}" is empty. Try printing out the value of "url" before you fetch it.
