Only the Travis Bell admin and you can access your API Key.
So I suggest you

Take a Test
Using a computer, desktop or notebook.
On some mobile devices this test may not work correctly.
In the URL below, change THE_KEY to your API Key.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=THE_KEY
Use this example to do a search using a new tab or window in your browser.
You will receive the basic data of the Movie Fight Club (1999)
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/550-fight-club
If it works, your Key is OK.

When there is a problem, the TMDb Server sends a message.
Can you tell which message the server sent?
Here is a list of possible messages:

If it does not work, let us know right here.

It works for movie. Weird. But if i try to authenticate trough the api website here: https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/intro/authentication it does not authenticate the API key. And when I try to fetch movie data from website then it just does not work for some reason

Maybe my redis cache is failing or something. I gonna try to query it trough postman, it seems to be working.

I gonna try to fix my website then. Weird.

Oh... it was dumb mistake. I added a script that overrided the response... So my bad!

So that is fixed but this is still weird: https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/intro/authentication <-- can auth with my key

The "Try it!" option in DOCs it only works with the "Access Token Auth" option.
It doesn't work if you select the "API Key Auth" option.
Your API Key validation test is done using your Token.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/authentication-validate-key
If your Token works then your API Key must also work.

If you want to test your API Key directly, follow the instructions above, Take a Test
