Hello, I read the API at least 40 times, but it doesn´t work
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie?{my_key}&images/id=1948/4406KIS6HsScPFs66xOVaeQK3Nj.jpg
is there something wrong with this link?

Yes, that is not a working API call. Are you simply trying to call the images method on movie id 1948?
Would be what you're after.

I'm not following. Could you elaborate?
Once you have made a request for the images, you can pull out the
file_path
element from within the results. With that in hand, follow the instructions located in the configuration method to build a fully qualified URL.Reply by northstar

My first Request is from these api: "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?my_key&query=" There´s a backdrop_path': u'/4406KIS6HsScPFs66xOVaeQK3Nj.jpg within.
I´m going to use the - ---backdrop_path----- value to build a string that leads to the picture url. When I got that picture I want to put it in the python canvas image object. There´s the theory so far, I´m very new in python and got to work it out.
while zaehler > 1:
z += 1 zaehler -= 1 label["label%d" % z] = Label(text = "Titel") entry["entry%d" % z] = Entry() canvas = Canvas(width=100, height=100) canvas.create_text(70,30,text = "test") #canvas.create_image(80,30,image = self.image_string + THE STRING I WANT TO USE) canvas.pack()

Hello Travisbell,
I mean I need the full path to the images itself to request the image I think that´s my Question

Did you read through the configuration method like I mentioned? It explains how you generate a fully qualified URL.

Now I see, thank you! The word configuration was confusing me, because in php configuration means always system or application data configurations

I have the same problem but the page that was the solution to Northstar's problem has depreciated. My problem is that I want a direct link to the poster from either a query or an id both are fine but i am not able to get that. My question is what to do with the file path that I receive what should I put in front of the file path so that I get a direct image link. The code is in python by the way

That's not a valid request. You're appending the poster path to your API key.
Is a valid search query.
If you want to get images, read the docs for the details: https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/image-basics
