Hello,
I am getting status code 7 'Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.' when I utilize the 'try it' tool on the API reference page and when I apply it to by app. I copy the test node and did the install of node-fetch. Here is the code from your site and also the response. It has almost been 24 hours and on the dashboard for my API Authentication it states none of my attempts have been successful.
Copied from site and also leveraged on the site:
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const url = 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/authentication';
const options = {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
accept: 'application/json',
Authorization: 'Bearer //api key removed for discussion post// '
}
};
fetch(url, options)
.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => console.log(json))
.catch(err => console.error('error:' + err));
Response:
{
"status_code": 7,
"status_message": "Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.",
"success": false
}
Thank you, Colt

Hi @colt_shivers,
You can't use your API key as a bearer token. You need to use your request token.
If you want to use your API key, you need to send it as query parameter:
