Important Notes

It is important that you use a TMDb V3 API key. If you do not already have one, follow the TMDb Getting Started guide.

If you would like to validate your API key valid prior to running Kometa, visit the TMDb Authentication page, sign in with your TMDb credentials and press the "Try It!" button on the right-hand side. You should see "success": true in the Response box.
