What is TMDB's API? The TMDB API service is for those of you interested in using our movie, TV show or actor images and/or data in your application. Our API is a system we provide for you and your team to programmatically fetch and use our data and/or images.
Why would I need an API? The API provides a fast, consistent and reliable way to get third party data.
Does the API key cost anything? Our API is free to use as long as you attribute TMDB as the source of the data and/or images. However, we reserve the right to charge for the commercial API key in the future.
