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? 😕 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/movie/{{movie_id}}/reviews: parameters: - name: movie_id in: path required: true schema: type: string get: tags: - Movies summary: Reviews description: Get the user reviews for a movie. operationId: reviews parameters: - name: language in: query schema: type: string example: en-US - name: page in: query schema: type: string example: '1' responses: '200': description: Reviews headers: Alt-Svc: schema: type: string example: h3=":443"; ma=86400 Cache-Control: schema: type: string example: public, max-age=18020 Connection: schema: type: string example: keep-alive Content-Encoding: schema: type: string example: gzip Date: schema: type: string example: Wed, 08 Jan 2025 22:06:51 GMT ETag: schema: type: string example: W/"9becf6e9522fd204074df54736100766" 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 a9f4bdae1135d507d62df475ab78dc5e.cloudfront.net (CloudFront) X-Amz-Cf-Id: schema: type: string example: lECOkEytvvvkmToFU53OnaSw55libR99Oxx0xXiX_o76MPKWPYgNKQ== 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: '7331' x-memc-expires: schema: type: string example: '18020' x-memc-key: schema: type: string example: 16707ed193829d1998558adffbce136e content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: id: type: number example: 939243 page: type: number example: 1 results: type: array items: type: object properties: author: type: string example: CinemaSerf author_details: type: object properties: avatar_path: type: string example: /yz2HPme8NPLne0mM8tBnZ5ZWJzf.jpg name: type: string example: CinemaSerf rating: type: number example: 6 username: type: string example: Geronimo1967 content: type: string example: >- So for fifty years, "GUN" have kept "Shadow" in a gloopy state of stasis deep underground in a top secret facility. All of a sudden he awakens, punches himself out of the place and that means that the director (Krysten Ritter) has to disrupt a family barbecue to engage the services of "Team Sonic". Our eponymous blue hedgehog, his best pals "Tails" and "Knuckles" have settled down to a peaceable life with "Tom" (James Marsden) and "Maddie" (Tika Sumpter) but realise they have to rise to the occasion so off they go. Imagine their shock, though, when they discover that their new super-fast and super-strong nemesis is another (not quite so blue) hedgehog! Who is he? What's going on? Why does he seem to loath mankind, so? Well that all becomes clear when his puppet-master turns out to be the grand-daddy of all baddies. The ultimate "Robotnik" - only with a slightly more rotund belly. Matched, even out-matched, it falls to our intrepid team to try and form an alliance of their own, but how will that endure in the face of such terrible odds? Well don't go looking for any jeopardy here, indeed what starts off as quite a fun series of thwack and pow escapades showing off the skills of the rivals cannot resist turning into the cul-de-sac of sentimentality as the inevitable plot lines grab hold of the characters and turn them into cheesy mush. I always like a good antagonist, but sadly we just know that however dastardly and evil he - in this case the ultra-hammy Jim Carrey - can be, no writer or director is ever going to let him win, and that's pretty efficiently telegraphed right from the start of this sequel that's going to be a prequel too, no doubt. Some of the writing is quite fun, with plenty of contemporary and quite sarcastic references to raise a smile, and there are homages paid aplenty to just about everyone from "007" and the "Fantastic Four" to the "Avengers" - but in the end it's all just a little too shiny and predicable. It looks great on the big screen though and passes a couple of hours easily enough for a Christmas release, but it's all just a bit too derivative for me, sorry. created_at: type: string example: '2024-12-24T09:39:57.504Z' id: type: string example: 676a816d2334e8c8f87ec2e6 updated_at: type: string example: '2024-12-24T09:39:57.601Z' url: type: string example: >- https://www.themoviedb.org/review/676a816d2334e8c8f87ec2e6 example: - author: CinemaSerf author_details: avatar_path: /yz2HPme8NPLne0mM8tBnZ5ZWJzf.jpg name: CinemaSerf rating: 6 username: Geronimo1967 content: >- So for fifty years, "GUN" have kept "Shadow" in a gloopy state of stasis deep underground in a top secret facility.
