Anytime I tried "try it" to see the results of the query, I got the following error message:
{ "status_code": 7, "status_message": "Invalid API key: You must be granted a valid key.", "success": false }
Browsing FAQ didn't help, what can I do to solve this issue? Thanks

The "Try it!" option in DOCs it only works with the "Access Token Auth" option.
It doesn't work if you select the "API Key Auth" option.
Your API Key validation test is done using your Token.

If your Token works then your API Key must also work.
If you want to test your API Key directly, follow the instructions below.
Take a Test
Using a computer, desktop or notebook.
On some mobile devices this test may not work correctly.
In the URL below, change THE_KEY to your API Key.
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=THE_KEY
Use this example to do a search using a new tab or window in your browser.
You will receive the basic data of the Movie Fight Club (1999)

If it works, your Key is OK.
When there is a problem, the TMDb Server sends a message.
Can you tell which message the server sent?
