The Movie Database Support

Hi I'm having trouble rendering the backdrop_path and poster_path image in my application. The call returns 200 but when I try to display the image the return is with error 500.

Console image

It's the first time I'm using TMDB so any help is welcome. Thank you all.

Here is the call:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key={my_api_key}&language=en-US

Callback:

{adult: false, backdrop_path: "/mMZRKb3NVo5ZeSPEIaNW9buLWQ0.jpg", belongs_to_collection: null,…}

I'm using Reactjs to build a menu page similar to that of Netflix. Please disregard indentation errors. My code:

<div className="container">
   <div className="row">
     {movies.map(item => (
         <div className="" key={item.data.id}>
             <p>{item.data.title}</p>
             <img src={item.data.backdrop_path} alt={item.data.title} className="d-block w-100" />
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
</div>

Hi @ligiaas, that console error shows you trying to load the image from your localhost server, which I suspect is not what you want to be doing.

You can read the docs here, that describe how you can build a valid image URL.

<img src=https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500{item.data.backdrop_path} alt={item.data.title} className="d-block w-100" />

For example.

And how do I render the most popular movie images? Render listing images in general?

The sure thing would be to get the url from the movie and not from localhost, right?
