The Movie Database Support

Hi All,

I feel like I am on another planet. I am doing a codecademy course, and the developers screen shows a version of your API docs that has the base_url prominently displayed in the top left of the screen. This no longer seems to be present. The task I am on is asking me to use the docs to identify the base_url. To help further my education in documentation reading, is there a page I should navigate to to find mention of the base_url as a base_url in isolation with no other requests appended to it?

I'm not too experienced myself but I believe base_url is just https://api.themoviedb.org/3

So you'd set it up like

const base_url = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3";

then you can call it instead of retyping the url all the time. you could do

{base_url}/movie/{movie_id} 

instead of

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{movie_id}

Ah I can see that you do provide an example request after giving me access to the API token. I would welcome a signpost to any other reference to your base URL, as I would still say I am not 100% confident.
