Hi, I'm trying to use the Google sheet function IMPORTDATA to get some specific data to sheets:
IMPORTDATA("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/"&A2&"&apikey=MYAPYKEY") (the idea is that formula put in B1 picks up movie ID from the cell A1)
but it's not working , error reported - "Could not fetch url: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/1184918?&apikey=...."
What did I miss? In API connector extension, URL works fine, but I need that formula to pull the movie ID from the previous cell (A column) in every row
For OMDB, the same formula works fine - pulls the data with no problem: IMPORTDATA("https://omdbapi.com/?i="&A1&"&apikey=MYAPIKEY")

I didn't check if IMPORTDATA is working, but your query should use "?" instead of "&".

Do you mean in A1 part where the previous cell is called, like this - "?A1?" instead of "&A1&" ?
=IMPORTDATA("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/"?A1?"&apikey=MYAPYKEY")
Doesn't work either way (same if I change & to ? , before the apikey= part). I also tried with API KEY and with API Read Access Token, no success
It doesn't work even with static movie ID. like this (with or without my API key added):
=IMPORTDATA("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/343611&apikey=MYAPIKEY")
Is there any other function that should be called instead to pull the data in the cell, - IMPORTXML, IMPORTHTML or what? or some parameters have to be added / changed in IMPORTDATA?
Any help highly appreciated.

No. I mean before the API key.
In this case, there is only one parameter (the API key), so you should use "?" in front of it.
Also, the API key parameter is called "api_key", not "apikey".

Yes, that's it. I don't know how I missed it; should've drink the coffee first, wouldn't mess the syntax :)
It works now: =IMPORTDATA("https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/"&A2&"?api_key=MYAPIKEY")
Is there a way to add parameters to the function to return / call only these:
