At first it appears that the authentication flow has been significantly changed away from the flow presented in Lesson 5: Authentication Requests, because basically it has. Instead of entering in your TMDb credentials (username and password) into the app (where presumably the app could surreptitiously co-opt them), TMDb wants app developers to let TMDb authenticate users directly through their (TMDb’s) website. You can do this using a segue to an authentication view controller with a web view and a web view delegate, but that is not as spiffy as handling login in your own login view.<\/p>\n
But while implementing this new flow, I stumbled across the following URL request:<\/p>\n
GET<\/span>\/authentication\/token\/validate_with_login<\/span><\/pre>\nIt is listed as strongly discouraged<\/strong>, but by golly that is the request that this course is looking to use in the loginWithToken() method, and it still works! I might go back and finish the new authentication flow, since I actually have it fully implemented, but for now I’m sticking with old school. If you want to go old school too, here is the link to the appropriate documentation:\u00a0https:\/\/developers.themoviedb.org\/3\/authentication\/validate-request-token<\/a><\/p>\nAlso, the instructor’s notes in step 18 of Lesson 5 include example code on how to use validate-request-token.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
