Hi
Im requesting the default movie to see if i get a response from the api but get the above error message in my rails console (not sure if using rails is relevant in this discussion) when trying this
@response = HTTParty.get("http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key=api_key).response.body
what would cause the above error code?

Cheers.
