I'm making a request to: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find?api_key=###&imdb_id=tt2406468

What I'm trying to do is get the movie poster by providing the imdb id. Is this possible anymore? I've tried many permutations without success.

Hi cigarnoob,

That's not quite how the /find method works. This would be the query you're after:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/tt2406468?api_key=###&external_source=imdb_id

Cheers.
