TMDB API Key

Getting an API Key

In order to search for movies and TV shows, we use an API called "The Movie Database" (TMDB){target="_blank"}. For your client to be able to search, you need to generate an API key for yourself.

::alert{type="info"} The API key is free, you just need to create an account. ::

  1. Create an account at https://www.themoviedb.org/signup
  2. You will be required to verify your email; click the link that you get sent to verify your account.
  3. Go to https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api/request to create a developer account.
  4. Read the terms and conditions and accept them.
  5. Fill out your details:
    • Select "Website" as type of use.
    • For the other details can put any values; they are not important.
  6. Copy the "API Read Access Token" - DO NOT COPY THE API Key - IT WILL NOT WORK
