TheTVDB
The most accurate source for TV and film metadata

TheTVDB is a community-driven database of TV show and film metadata, contributed and maintained by fans worldwide. The platform provides structured entertainment data including episode details, cast information, and images that power media centers, mobile apps, and third-party services. An API is available for both free individual use and commercial licensing, enabling thousands of projects to access the data.
Users create free accounts to contribute and correct TV and film data, which is then made available to other sites, apps, and devices via a public API.
