can you post a more descriptive error message i.e the entire error log from your terminal it will tell me which file and line of code is causing the error above, else am just blind debugging,

Bug description

though i think this is the issue on line 7 in requests.py you are reading the api_key

#request.py line 7
api_key = app.config['MOVIE_API_KEY']

yet in config.py theres no such variable MOVIE_API_KEY

#config.py
class Config:
    MOVIE_API_BASE_URL ='https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key={}'
...

solution

• since the api key has to be secret you can add it to your linux environment in the following way on your terminal

  $ export MOVIE_API_KEY="your api key"

• then use python os.environ to load it into the code

  import os
  #config.py
  class Config:
  MOVIE_API_BASE_URL ='https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/550?api_key={}'
  MOVIE_API_KEY=os.environ.get("MOVIE_API_KEY","")

• note every time you reboot you'll have to set the api key again, they are obvious work arounds but i'll leave you to find them.
