The Movie Database Support

After some successfull tries, my TMDB API became non-functional. Every time i try to access the API, i get following congestion message.

The request could not be satisfied. Bad request. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.

Using URL https://api.themoviedb.org/3 My API key is valid, since it worked some months ago. I perform less than 10 requests per day (at least i try to), so there cannot be any congestion - not from my side.

Any hint on how i can bypass this error message and use the API?

Thank you very much

Answering my own question. Turns out, my Access Token Auth key had expired, which is somehow not clear from the error message above. After i logged in and visited https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/intro/authentication i got a new access token auth key. Now it works again.

Which rises two new questions:

  • how do i know if my access token key has expired? ich couldn't find any expiration date in the api reference
  • how do i request a fresh access token programmatically, without manually visiting the authentication url?

Thank you
