I have been using WWW::TMDB::API successfully to search movies for
several months, but it seems to have stopped working in the last week or
two.
This appears to be a slight change in the API, but I haven't found it
mentioned on the TMDB.
After setting the API key appropriately, and initializing the API, I use
a line like:
$tmdb->get_api->movie->search(query=>"The Philadelphia Story");
This returns an error:
404 Not Found returned by
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movies?query=The+Philadelphia+Story&api_key=...
at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/WWW/TMDB/API/Movie.pm line 17.
The URL entered in a browser returns:
{"status_code":6,"status_message":"Invalid id - The pre-requisite id is
invalid or not found"}
Replacing the URL with
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=The+Philadelphia+Story&api_key=...
(i.e., replacing "movies" with "movie")
returns the expected result.
Replacing line 17 of Movie.pm with
$self->{api}->send_api( [ 'search', 'movie' ],
seems to work.
