authentication/token/new returns error: '404 Not Found'
posted by hardartcoreSTAFFMOD on January 18, 2021 at 10:41 AM
I am trying to get a new token by calling:https://api.themoviedb.org/authentication/token/new?api_key= with my api_key in order to create a login system for a sample app which I am building right now using TMBd's API.
Calling this directly returns an error, a html code. Those are the headers:
<-- 404 https://api.themoviedb.org/authentication/token/new?api_key={MY_API_KEY} (345ms)

Any idea what can cause this issue? Thanks!

Hey @hardartcore, it's because you're not accessing the correct path (missing the
/3).You're looking for:

Hi @travisbell . Yes, you are right, that was the problem. It turns out that the library which I am using for the http connection strips the last part of the main url which in my case was set to:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/but when I copied the rest of the part of token creating url:/authentication/token/newI didn't remove the first/and the whole url becomes:https://api.themoviedb.org/3//authentication/token/newwhich leads to removing the/3/part. And in the debug logs I was mostly checking about theapi_keyif it's the correct one because with other API call there wasn't any error. Thanks for helping me to find the issue!Regards.
