Images for API Use in Javascript

I don't know if that's what you're asking for, but ...

When an API Request is made, in the responses received you will find the Path of the images:
poster_path or backdrop_path or profile_path or logo_path or still_path.
Something like that:

backdrop_path   "/hZkgoQYus5vegHoetLkCJzb17zJ.jpg"   
poster_path "/r3pPehX4ik8NLYPpbDRAh0YRtMb.jpg"    

To access/download the image use the basic images URL.

https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/  

The request should be similar to these:

https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/[size]/[poster_path]  
https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/wigZBAmNrIhxp2FNGOROUAeHvdh.jpg  
https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/wigZBAmNrIhxp2FNGOROUAeHvdh.jpg

Make sure to read the documentation around images.

ok for something like this:https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/[size]/[poster_path]

The PI Key is only required for API Requests.
Searching for data and information about films, series, etc.

To get the images, you do not need an API Key.
Just the image Path.
