pytmdb3 will not accept my api_key

[stampedeboss]

I get the following error:

tmdb3.set_key('99999999999999999999999999999')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "tmdb3/request.py", line 33, in set_key
raise TMDBKeyInvalid("Specified API key must be 128-bit hex")
tmdb3.tmdb_exceptions.TMDBKeyInvalid: Specified API key must be 128-bit hex

The key being supplied is identical to the key listed in the web site. It also being accepted by the old tmdb api without issue.

I currently know of three keys, although I could probably find some more if I went searching through available source of other projects using the TMDBv3 API.

• pytmdb3 testing key: 1acd79ff610c77f3040073d004f7f5b0
• mythtv grabber key: c27cb71cff5bd76e1a7a009380562c62
• xbmc grabber key: 57983e31fb435df4df77afb854740ea9

They're all 32-characters long, and all composed of hexadecimal characters. Now "99999999999999999999999999999" is only 29-characters and does not follow that format, but presumably that is just some arbitrary string in place of your real key. Is it possible you copied your key in incompletely? Were you given a key very early on before this format came into use?

No response from reporter, and TMDB admin confirms all keys should follow that format. I'm closing this one.
