Hi @jitenc116,

We don't block IP's on the API. What is the output of a DNS lookup like dig?

dig api.themoviedb.org

When I run this command openssl s_client -connect api.themoviedb.org:443

I got this:

*   Trying 2600:9000:2652:aa00:c:174a:c400:93a1:443...
* Connected to api.themoviedb.org (2600:9000:2652:aa00:c:174a:c400:93a1) port 443 (#0)

That's just you trying to connect, I need to see the DNS lookup like above.

ok

Ok, so you are connecting to some valid IPs. That's good.

What happens if you don't use https, and http instead?
