The Movie Database Support

Hii I am new to using curl and all the networking stuff I just created a account and was reading the docs and I tried authenticating by using the following

curl --request GET \
     --url https://api.themoviedb.org/3/authentication \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer MY_TOKEN' \
     --header 'accept: application/json'

Nothing was printed in the console and I waited for a few minutes but still nothing. So, I tried using the -v verbose option to see what is happening inside the hood and found this

Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, GET is already inferred.

I have also opened my 443 port in firewall for tcp

Hi @RUDisCOOL,

49.44.79.236 is not an AWS IP, and upon looking at the whois, I can see it belongs to Jio, which I assume is your ISP.

Jio has been blocking TMDB off and on for a few years, I don't know why. You can read more about this on a recent thread here.

@travisbell Thanks for the reply, I tried using a VPN which worked. Also, I changed my computers DNS to Cloudflare's DNS and that worked too.
