php - wp_insert_post not working

I'm trying to get the movie info from the omdb web service and it worked fine but it doesn't work when I want to use wp_insert_post to create new posts. This script acts as the user enters the movie ID and receives the information as an AJAX and a link is displayed to the user to edit the post but the post id value is 0.

function omdb_Flex_movie(){
add_menu_page(
    'Fetch info',
    'fetch info',
    'edit_posts',
    'test-script',
    'menu_callback',
    'dashicons-format-video',
    1);
}
add_action('admin_menu','omdb_Flex_movie');

function fetch_info(){

    if (current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
        if (isset($_POST['id_movie'])) {
            $id_movie = $_POST["id_movie"];
            if (($id_movie != NULL)) {
                $get_json_movie = file_get_contents("/?apikey=ba9e1d33&i=$id_movie");
                $result = json_decode($get_json_movie, TRUE);
                $imdb = $result['imdbID'];
                $genrefarsi = $result['Genre'];
                $my_post = array(
                    'post_title' => 'test title',
                    'post_status' => 'pending',
                    'post_type' => 'post'
                );
                global $wpdb;
                $consulta = "SELECT meta_value FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key = 'id_imdb' AND meta_value = '{$imdb}' ";
                $verificar = $wpdb->get_results($consulta, OBJECT);
                if ($verificar) {
                    echo '<strong>This Post Already Exist</strong> ';
                } else {
                    $post_id = wp_insert_post($my_post);

                }
                wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $genrefarsi, 'category');
            }
        }
    }

I guess the reason is you have not added post title and added post id

$my_post = array(
                'post_id' => 1,
                'post_status' => 'pending',
                'post_type' => 'post'
            );

Ideally if should be

$my_post = array(
  'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags( $_POST['post_title'] ),
  'post_content'  => $_POST['post_content'],
  'post_status'   => 'publish',
  'post_author'   => 1,
  'post_category' => array( 8,39 ),
'post_type' => 'post'
);
