Here is my api key: 7b5e30851a9285340e78c201c4e4ab99
And I am trying to connect to TMDB api: here is my code:
package movieDBapiconnnection;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
public class connection {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
URL url = new URL("http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=7b5e30851a9285340e78c201c4e4ab99/3/movie/550");
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setRequestMethod("GET");
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader((con.getInputStream())));
String output;
System.out.println("Output from Server .... \n");
while ((output = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(output);
}
}
}
But it always showing me the error that:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=7b5e30851a9285340e78c201c4e4ab99/3/movie/550 at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source) at movieDBapiconnnection.connection.main(connection.java:17)
First, I would use a TMDB wrapper. Get a Java wrapper at: https://github.com/Omertron/api-themoviedb. Use the fully tested and tried wrapper rather than trying to connect to it and creating your models from scratch. Typically in a wrapper when you instantiate a class, you pass in the API key into the constructor and the wrapper does the rest.
