If you inspect the response, you are gonna see <Response 503>.

The reason is that %7Bpage%7D part of the URL that does not look right. URL with a numeric value in that place works: https://tv-v2.api-fetch.website/movies/1 - a list of dictionaries with the movie data is printed out on the console.

My best guess is that you've incorrectly string-formatted the actual page value - may be missing an f prefix for the f-string?
