I got an original API approved on October 19th. That API Key was: ceb5fc5db09987700c76db92749892e2. When it didn't work I regenerated another one. I'm now using this one and its also not working. I tested it using https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=THE_KEY with my regenerated key and it works.

The problem i'm having is when my python program generates this URL https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?THE_KEY with my key it doesn't work. I get this error message. """{"status_code":7,"status_message":"Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.","success":false}"""

How does my key work with the test url (https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=THE_KEY) but not with a url this url I generate (https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?THE_KEY)?
