Getting error message: HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url

Hi, I received an API key a few months ago, but when I'm trying to use it now, I get this error message: HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/17632?api_key=aed5****
Could you please help me understand the problem? Do I need to request a new API key?

I've truncated your API key to keep it private.
The error you're getting doesn't have anything to do with your API key, the response you're getting back is a 404 "not found" error meaning that id doesn't exist.
You can try a valid like, say, 550, and you'll see that it works fine.
