Hi there,

I looks like your API key is working ok for me:

tbell$ curl -v 'http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=53c0ae5######'

Are you sure you entered it properly?

Yeah the issue seems to just be in the 'try this' area of the site When I copy the same url and put directly in the browser, it works fine, it is happening with any tv series I look at the seasons, but not when looking at the overall tv show... strange..

Ah, I see. It does indeed seem to be only a docs problem. I will let StopLight (our API docs provider) know about this and get it fixed up.

Good find! Thanks.

Hi @mateinone StopLight has fixed the docs issue with TV seasons, you should be good to go now!
