As outlined in the [getting started guide](https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/getting-started), the basics to getting a user authenticated look like this: 1. **Create a new request token** 2. **Get the user to authorize the request token** 3. **Create a new session id with the authorized request token** Steps 1 and 3 should be fairly easy to understand, but let's walk through each to ensure clarity. ## Step 1: Create a request token The first step as a developer is to request a new token. This is a **temporary token** required to ask the user for permission to access their account. This token will automatically expire **after 60 minutes** if it's not used. ## Step 2: Ask the user for permission With a request token in hand, forward your user to the following URL: ``` https://www.themoviedb.org/authenticate/{REQUEST_TOKEN} ``` You can also pass this URL a `redirect_to` parameter, like so: ``` https://www.themoviedb.org/authenticate/{REQUEST_TOKEN}?redirect_to=http://www.yourapp.com/approved ``` Once the user has approved your request token, they will either be redirected to the URL you specified in the `redirect_to` parameter or to the `/authenticate/allow` path on TMDB. If they aren't redirected to a custom URL, the page will also include an `Authentication-Callback` header. This header contains the API call for step #3. You can either manually generate it or simply use the one we return. ## Step 3: Create a session ID By calling the **new session method** with the request token that has been approved by the user in Step 2, we will return a **new session_id**. This session can now be used to write user data. You should treat this key **like a password** and keep it secret. ## What about guest sessions? A **guest session** can be used to rate movies **without** requiring a registered TMDB user account. For more information about how to create a guest session, see [here](https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/authentication). - name: Certification - name: Changes - name: Collections - name: Companies - name: Configuration - name: Credits - name: Discover - name: Find - name: Genres - name: Guest Session - name: Keywords - name: List description: >- ## v3 or v4 list? ๐Ÿ˜• You may have noticed that the a v4 version of our list API exists. While these v3 list methods continue to work, all of the new features you can see on our website are only available if you switch to the v4 lists. **What are some of the improvements in v4?** - You can import "unlimited" items in a single request - You can use mixed type (movie and TV) lists - You can use private lists - You can add and use comments per item - There are more sort options - They are faster - Check the v4 documentation for more information. - name: Movie Lists - name: Movies - name: Networks - name: People Lists - name: People - name: Reviews - name: Search - name: Trending - name: TV Series Lists - name: TV Series - name: TV Seasons - name: TV Episodes - name: TV Episode Groups - name: Watch Providers paths: /3/credit/{{credit_id}}: parameters: - name: credit_id in: path required: true schema: type: string get: tags: - Credits summary: Details description: Get a movie or TV credit details by ID. operationId: details3 responses: '200': description: Details headers: Alt-Svc: schema: type: string example: h3=":443"; ma=86400 Cache-Control: schema: type: string example: public, max-age=17696 Connection: schema: type: string example: keep-alive Content-Encoding: schema: type: string example: gzip Date: schema: type: string example: Sun, 05 Jan 2025 21:55:17 GMT ETag: schema: type: string example: W/"7e58bfa66cec9b4184ff2cfa88f2f8a8" Server: schema: type: string example: openresty Transfer-Encoding: schema: type: string example: chunked Vary: schema: type: string example: Origin Via: schema: type: string example: >- 1.1 95e16d4ec89b0a07da1a8770b0f15cfa.cloudfront.net (CloudFront) X-Amz-Cf-Id: schema: type: string example: UdYylqVloPWb7_Hch_0NtBAZTrOEdLjX7aQI0sRd1No5I-Jk3RSo3A== X-Amz-Cf-Pop: schema: type: string example: LOS50-P2 X-Cache: schema: type: string example: Miss from cloudfront x-memc: schema: type: string example: HIT x-memc-age: schema: type: string example: '5594' x-memc-expires: schema: type: string example: '17696' x-memc-key: schema: type: string example: 9a3b8db8e8d1e7ab0f6e2856123baa77 content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: credit_type: type: string example: cast department: type: string example: Acting id: type: string example: 5e5cc7f055c926001952b30b job: type: string example: Actor media: type: object properties: adult: type: boolean example: false backdrop_path: type: string example: /pwpw1veVNW2Sls5sGbA9mqMYN49.jpg character: type: string example: Woo Moo-Chi genre_ids: type: array items: type: number example: 28 example: - 28 - 12 - 35 - 14 id: type: number example: 591120 media_type: type: string example: movie original_language: type: string example: ko original_title: type: string example: 'ํ•ด์ : ๋„๊นจ๋น„ ๊นƒ๋ฐœ' overview: type: string example: >- A gutsy crew of Joseon pirates and bandits battle stormy waters, puzzling clues and militant rivals in search of royal gold lost at sea. popularity: type: number example: 24.176 poster_path: type: string example: /50UQeTrUM7ErXzkvqCsV6EXcM3g.jpg release_date: type: string example: '2022-01-26' title: type: string example: 'The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure' video: type: boolean example: false vote_average: type: number example: 6.6 vote_count: type: number example: 197 media_type: type: string example: movie person: type: object properties: adult: type: boolean example: false gender: type: number example: 2 id: type: number example: 1257899 known_for_department: type: string example: Acting media_type: type: string example: person name: type: string example: Kang Ha-neul original_name: type: string example: ๊ฐ•ํ•˜๋Š˜ popularity: type: number example: 33.13 profile_path: type: string example: /9V9H2mzk9XLMVPr0HtZHPCbM0Q2.jpg examples: Details: value: credit_type: cast department: Acting id: 5e5cc7f055c926001952b30b job: Actor media: adult: false backdrop_path: /pwpw1veVNW2Sls5sGbA9mqMYN49.jpg character: Woo Moo-Chi genre_ids: - 28 - 12 - 35 - 14 id: 591120 media_type: movie original_language: ko original_title: 'ํ•ด์ : ๋„๊นจ๋น„ ๊นƒ๋ฐœ' overview: >- A gutsy crew of Joseon pirates and bandits battle stormy waters, puzzling clues and militant rivals in search of royal gold lost at sea. popularity: 24.176 poster_path: /50UQeTrUM7ErXzkvqCsV6EXcM3g.jpg release_date: '2022-01-26' title: 'The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure' video: false vote_average: 6.6 vote_count: 197 media_type: movie person: adult: false gender: 2 id: 1257899 known_for_department: Acting media_type: person name: Kang Ha-neul original_name: ๊ฐ•ํ•˜๋Š˜ popularity: 33.13 profile_path: /9V9H2mzk9XLMVPr0HtZHPCbM0Q2.jpg ````
