The Movie Database Support

Hi! I'm using rate movie endpoint to rate a movie using a guest session, and I get a success response:

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

However, when I try to get the movies that guest session rated with Get Guest Session Rated Movies endpoint, I'm receiving the following response with no movies:

{
    "page": 1,
    "results": [],
    "total_pages": 0,
    "total_results": 0
}

Could someone let me know if there's some time between the rate action and the actual saving of that rating? Thank you!

I fixed it! I was using Bearer Token Authentication, which made ratings to be linked to my TMDB account instead of the Guest Session I was sending. I switched to API Key Authentication and it started working like a charm!

Hey man! excuse me. I have the same problem, what do you mean by switched to API Key Authentication? (hope you will get some email about this message)

Hi @vimevi57 ! Yeah, thankfully I got an email, I had totally forgotten I asked this question 😂.

What I meant is that when sending the POST request to the rate endpoint, I sent my API key as a querystring param instead of sending my token in the Authorization header.

I don't remember why it didn't work when using Bearer Token authentication as it's been a long time since I worked on the project, but it seems that I was able to make it work by using API Key authentication back then.

I've just reviewed my project's code and this is the request I'm sending (for movies):

Woow! Thank you @mbahamonde6! May I see get request with getting rated list? Because for some reason it doesn't still work. It turns emty array. Maybe I overlooked something
