TMDB api and website not working in India
posted by panthermailSTAFFMOD on April 16, 2024 at 12:54 AM
I was trying to add a feature to my code and i was testing it and i found out that tmdb was just not responding so i went to the website and i found out the website wasn't responding either. This was a month ago. I thought maybe tmdb was facing some downtime so i didn't report sooner. Whether its just an India issue or just an issue with my ISP i do not know! Please fix it tmdb! Just to write this i had to connect to my VPN. Maybe tmdb has accidentally gone to some anti piracy blacklist or something

Hi @panthermail,
Correct, there’s been a block put in place by the Indian government. Different ISP’s seem to implement this a little differently than others. Some users have reported simply changing their DNS name servers solved it, while others were not so lucky.
You can try the name server change. Try either:
And see if it helps.
