Hey, For the last couple of days, I have been struggling to use the /3/search/movie with special characters from the Arabic, Chinese, or Korean alphabet.
When I try to run a query directly like https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=%EB%8F%99%EB%84%A4%EC%82%AC%EB%9E%8C%EB%93%A4&api_key=[APIKEY] it works fine
But when I try to get it from my app, I get "Bad Request" and nothing more. Without special characters, it works fine. I do not use any special headers in my call.
Could this be the encoding problem? I can see that even up here, the query "동네사람들" is URL encoded.
I tried to simulate through https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-movie, but even with my valid credentials, I got "Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key." This error usually happens when you DO NOT use the parameter api_key as the last parameter, which is also strange :)
Thanks for any advice

Yes, it is probably a problem with your APP's coding.
If so, only the APP creator can solve the problem.
If it is a problem here at TMDb, only the admin Travis Bell will be able to explain it.
Let's wait for him to come by.
Your page probably has the API Key option selected.
In the menus on the right side, under Authorization > Header,
change the dropdown option from "API Key Auth" to "Access Token Auth".
It never worked with the API Key option.
Only with the Access Token option.
I don't know if this will ever be fixed.
I believe it is a limitation of the external service.

Thank you.
I have already tried to change the encoding, and it works in 95% of cases.

So is there still a case where it's not working? If so, what is the full request that is triggering a 400 error?

Thanks for the question; the remaining cases not properly working look like this:

That's because it's a TV show, and you're searching for movies with your API call.
Works properly, as does using
multi
:Cheers.
