API v4 - Get Watchlist - Which access_token should I use?
posted by BogdanSTAFFMOD on September 19, 2020 at 8:07 AM
Hi, If I want to a watchlist of authorized user https://developers.themoviedb.org/4/account/get-account-movie-watchlist do I need to use the access_token that I receive after user approves my app https://developers.themoviedb.org/4/auth/create-access-token or the one that was provided with API key?
I tried both and both work.
Thanks

Just noticed, that there is no way to add to watchlist using v4...

Hi @kironet, indeed. For most account functionality you're probably best to use v3. There is a covenient conversion method though, that you can use to create a v3 session from a v4 token.

Thanks @travisbell , is there a way to check if sessionid/access_token is still valid? I mean, how do I check if user removed my app from their tmdb account?
