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/search/keyword: get: tags: - Search summary: Keyword description: Search for keywords by their name. operationId: keyword parameters: - name: query in: query schema: type: string example: '%22moon%22' - name: page in: query schema: type: string example: '1' responses: '200': description: Keyword headers: Alt-Svc: schema: type: string example: h3=":443"; ma=86400 Cache-Control: schema: type: string example: public, max-age=27511 Connection: schema: type: string example: keep-alive Content-Encoding: schema: type: string example: gzip Date: schema: type: string example: Fri, 10 Jan 2025 15:21:18 GMT ETag: schema: type: string example: W/"1ec7093f0135dd09561710a3185349c0" 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 afc076a932b635d1fe9febfccf7103f0.cloudfront.net (CloudFront) X-Amz-Cf-Id: schema: type: string example: OHgEw0e-hcQE-lUY3hrxIcT6wtSJOGd_US1YCR-jsEp5M6mR2j8ORw== 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: MISS, STORE x-memc-age: schema: type: string example: '0' x-memc-expires: schema: type: string example: '27511' x-memc-key: schema: type: string example: d23b5979b387f12f7279e530e4c22010 content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: page: type: number example: 1 results: type: array items: type: object properties: id: type: number example: 305 name: type: string example: moon example: - id: 305 name: moon - id: 263378 name: moon girl moon - id: 3375 name: moon buggy - id: 295499 name: europa moon - id: 4550 name: full moon - id: 7422 name: moon landing - id: 275417 name: blue moon - id: 12185 name: moon base - id: 206911 name: moon cakes - id: 157265 name: moon colony - id: 184017 name: moon walk - id: 290636 name: moon troupe - id: 301716 name: blood moon - id: 303153 name: moon men - id: 303444 name: moon river - id: 313015 name: moon trace - id: 326804 name: moon falling - id: 330298 name: moon bird - id: 337469 name: sailor moon - id: 343693 name: rebel moon total_pages: type: number example: 2 total_results: type: number example: 31 examples: Keyword: value: page: 1 results: - id: 305 name: moon - id: 263378 name: moon girl moon - id: 3375 name: moon buggy - id: 295499 name: europa moon - id: 4550 name: full moon - id: 7422 name: moon landing - id: 275417 name: blue moon - id: 12185 name: moon base - id: 206911 name: moon cakes - id: 157265 name: moon colony - id: 184017 name: moon walk - id: 290636 name: moon troupe - id: 301716 name: blood moon - id: 303153 name: moon men - id: 303444 name: moon river - id: 313015 name: moon trace - id: 326804 name: moon falling - id: 330298 name: moon bird - id: 337469 name: sailor moon - id: 343693 name: rebel moon total_pages: 2 total_results: 31 ````
