The Movie Database Support

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to fetch images using Coil and AsyncImage with JetPack Compose. I keep getting the following error: Unable to resolve host "api.themoviedb.org": No address associated with hostname

I'm able to access an image in the web browser by pasting in a sample url into address bar directly: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/lxM6kqilAdpdhqUl2biYp5frUxE.jpg Looks like the api_key is not required to access images but is required to fetch data, which I'm able to. here is a code snippet

 Row(
            modifier = Modifier
                //.border(2.dp, Color.Black, shape = CircleShape)
                .background(color = Color.DarkGray)
                .fillMaxWidth()
                //.height(80.dp)
                .padding(5.dp)
        ){
            AsyncImage(
                model = ImageRequest.Builder(
                    LocalContext.current)
                    .data("https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/lxM6kqilAdpdhqUl2biYp5frUxE.jpg")
                    .build(),
                contentDescription = null
            )

i added the dependency to my gradle file aswell.

// coil
    implementation("io.coil-kt:coil-compose:2.5.0")

any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed, thanks in advance.

I tried to check if it is available in Australia and it appears that it is not.
