UNAUTH_API_GET_LIMIT on every call to GetWatchingAsync

[rarDevelopment]

I'm using Trakt.NET to access Trakt and when I use its GetWatchingAsync call, I get

{"name":"UNAUTHED_API_GET_LIMIT","period":300,"limit":1000,"remaining":999,"until":"2024-04-10T03:00:00Z"}

But I'm logging in with a client id and secret, is there another way I should be doing this?

var response = await client.Users.GetWatchingAsync("my-username");

This header is just informational. A 429 status code would be returned if you were hitting the rate limit.

Hmm okay, but I'm getting no value back despite using my username from the URL. Is there somewhere I can check if the call is correct? I'm able to get a show by its slug no problem.

[rectifyer]

Please pose the full request and response from the API. We'd need to see that to check where the error could be.

Hmm I'll probably run into issues there since I'm using the Trakt.NET package to make the calls. Not sure how to trace it with Fiddler either.

var response = await client.Users.GetWatchingAsync("rardk64");
var show = response.Value;

That's all I'm doing, response.Value and anything else on response is null.

To be honest, I'm getting a response from GetWatchedShows, so I'm wondering if no shows are tracking as Currently Watching. I can't find where to check this on Trakt.tv so I'm not sure if I even have them set properly.

There is no response if the user is not watching anything (HTTP 204 - no content). If you want to manually check on Trakt.tv if you're watching something, head to your dashboard and you should see a "red banner" like this:

but how do you set something as currently watching?

For a show I'm currently watching, how do you track that in the app? And how do I query for currently watching shows?
