Hello! I'm building a React app. When I make a request "Mark as Favorite" and post:

{
  favorite: true,
  media_id: {id},
  media_type: "movie"
}

I always receive the same response:

{"status_code":12,"status_message":"The item/record was updated successfully."}

and I don't see a result on my page. I also make a request "Add to Watchlist" with the same parametres and it works perfectly. What should I do? Please, help me.

I'm not having any trouble using this example cURL command (as an example for Black Panther):

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/{ID}/favorite?api_key=###&session_id=###' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "media_type": "movie",
    "media_id": 284054,
    "favorite": true
}'

A few things:

There can at times be a delay in the item being posted.
How are you checking the updated status?

In Chrome devtools, tab Network ("Response")
When I make a request "Add to Watchlist", I receive a response {"status_code":1,"status_message":"Success."}, it's ok.
But when "Mark as Favorite" I also try to send "favorite": true and "favorite": false, the result - {"status_code":12,"status_message":"The item/record was updated successfully."}

Hi, I've found my problem of "Add to Watchlist" and "Mark as Favorite": if the array of results < = 20 it works correctly. But if we have more then 20 items (fo example, 21) we can see that "total_pages": 2, "total_results": 21, but "results": 20, and we can use only 20 items (that marked as favorite or added to watchlist). How can I use the results from page 2?
