Getting session_id error
posted by novi-moviesSTAFFMOD on November 21, 2024 at 2:10 PM
I'm following this steps:
- Get new request_id with: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/authentication/token/new
- Then get permission for this request_id: https://www.themoviedb.org/authenticate/${requestToken}?redirect_to=http://localhost:3000/new_session
- After try create new session_id with permitted request_id:
const url = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/authentication/session/new";
const options = {
method: "POST",
headers: {
accept: "application/json",
"content-type": "application/json",
Authorization:
Bearer ${requestToken}, }, };
But got error: { status_code: 7, status_message: 'Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.', success: false }
Am I doing right?

DId you forget to put your API key?

In my profile api settings (https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api) two types of keys: "API Key" and "API Read Access Token". I didn't find out in what cases I have to use the "API Key". But you are right that if I use my "API Read Access Token" the request will succseed. But I was sure than I have to use new request_token to get new session_id.

API KEY uses as parameter
while API Read Access Token as bearer token
