Hi I am seeing a strange issue with the remove watch list webservice. Below are the details of my request

URL: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/**/movie_watchlist?api_key=***&session_id=***

Body:

{"movie_id":"9487","movie_watchlist":true}

I have used post to hit the service and it responds with 201 created. But it is not removing from the list. Is there anything I am doing wrong here

Hi @manohar1991,

You're not removing your item from the watchlist properly. That's not how you do it. Take a look at the account watchlist method. To add and remove an item, you pass a boolean in the body.

URL: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/###/watchlist?api_key=***&session_id=***

Add to watchlist body:

{"media_type": "movie", "media_id": 284054, "watchlist": true}

Remove from watchlist body:

{"media_type": "movie", "media_id": 284054, "watchlist": false}

Make sure to pass the Content-Type header. Here's a cURL example:

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{"media_type": "movie", "media_id": 284054, "watchlist": true}" \
"https://api.themoviedb.org/3/account/###/watchlist?api_key=***&session_id=***"
