TMDB has been working for me for a long time. Scraping through Kodi. I have kodi set up on multiple computers, on multiple platforms, and they have all been working fine until today, now none of them are. Confirmed issue with TMDB and not Kodi. Any issues going on recently?
Kodi 17.6 TMDB 5.1.2

API key for themoviedb-scrapper has been suspended, let's hope this issue will be fixed soon. "Suspended API key: Access to your account has been suspended, contact TMDb."

According to the Kodi team, the suspension is intentional on TMDB's part and it won't be fixed unless TMDB decides to change their mind about shutting Kodi out. Honestly, the only actual use of this site is for Kodi scraping; without that, there's really no point in bothering with it anymore.

Not quite guys. My reply to another user was the following:
There's no negative feelings with either project towards the other. This is a recurring problem that we work together on every 3-4 months. Welcome to the hell we have to deal with because of the illegal add-ons.
