It seems that my API Key is not active. I searched through the forums before posting and saw that a way to test would be to put this "http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json?apikey=[your_api_key]" in a browser. I tried that (replacing "[your_api_key]" with my actualy key) and it returns "{"error":"Account Inactive"}"
Could some one assist me?
If you didn't resolve the issue, it might be because you are placing your key within the brackets which you should not be doing. The "[your_api_key]" was meant as a place holder. Try testing your key in the dynamic documentation and notice how the api call is structured. Good luck
I am having the same problem when I try to access the movies api in a browser or from a php script. The browser reports '{"error":"Account Inactive"}' and I get error code ERR_403_DEVELOPER_INACTIVE when I run the script. But I can successfully run Get Movies from IO Docs. And there seems to be no way to 'Activate Account' or something similar - I am basically stuck. I am using the same key in all tests and not using the brackets etc. - just http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json?api-key=8tb......snip......8r7&q=artist

Hi Colin,
The apikey parameter should be one word. I notice in the example you gave that apikey is separated by a dash (api-key). Please try without the dash.

Thanks, Steve.
That did the trick.
