Movie and TV catalog enrichment
Use TMDB endpoints to turn movie and tv catalog enrichment into repeatable API requests with documented inputs and JSON responses.
Turn public The Movie Database (TMDB) pages into structured film and TV data — multi-type search across movies, shows, and people, movie and TV detail with overview and release dates, person detail, and curated movie/TV lists as normalized JSON for catalogs, recommendation, and enrichment. Credential-free.
Extract TMDB movie, TV show, and person data — search, detail, and curated lists — as structured JSON from public The Movie Database pages.

Managed execution
Each Crawlora platform API is designed around a specific data surface. Instead of exposing a generic fetch endpoint, Crawlora combines endpoint-specific request logic, managed infrastructure, parsing, normalization, billing, and Playground-tested examples.
Request behavior is tuned for the target platform and endpoint type.
Supported endpoints can use managed proxy routing to improve reliability and reduce infrastructure work.
Dynamic pages can be routed through managed browser instances where JavaScript rendering is required.
Challenge pages and unusable upstream responses are detected and surfaced clearly.
Results are returned as documented JSON instead of raw HTML.
Test the same route from Docs and Playground before production integration.
Coverage map
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

Endpoint catalog
/tmdb/searchSearches TMDB movies, TV shows, and people. An unscoped query interleaves results across all three types rather than returning whichever type happens to rank first upstream. Credential-free public TMDB data.
/tmdb/movie/{id}Returns a normalized TMDB movie: overview, tagline, genres, countries, runtime, budget/revenue, top-billed cast, top crew (director/writer), and aggregate rating. Credential-free public TMDB data (themoviedb.org) — not the official api.themoviedb.org, which requires an API key.
/tmdb/tv/{id}Returns a normalized TMDB TV show: overview, tagline, genres, countries, episode count, first/last air year, top-billed cast, top crew (creator), and aggregate rating. Credential-free public TMDB data.
/tmdb/movie/listReturns a TMDB movie chart (popular, top rated, now playing, or upcoming). Credential-free public TMDB data.
/tmdb/tv/listReturns a TMDB TV chart (popular, top rated, airing today, or on the air). Credential-free public TMDB data.
/tmdb/person/{id}Returns a normalized TMDB person: biography, birth date, photo, and filmography (movie and TV credits). Credential-free public TMDB data.

How to scrape TMDB
TMDB's movie, TV, and people data power film and TV research. Crawlora's TMDB endpoints return search, title detail, person detail, and curated lists as normalized JSON — no TMDB API key, rate-limit juggling, or proxy setup.
A multi-type search, a movie or TV detail by id, a person by id, or a curated movie/TV list.
Pass a query or a TMDB id to Crawlora's TMDB endpoint (e.g. /tmdb/search, /tmdb/movie, /tmdb/tv).
Receive title, overview, release date, and type as clean JSON, with fields varying by movie / TV / person.
Batch many titles or people to build catalogs for recommendation, research, or enrichment.
FAQ
Send a query or a TMDB id to Crawlora's TMDB endpoints and get movie, TV, and person data as structured JSON — search, detail, and curated lists — without writing parsers or holding a TMDB API key. Collect public data and respect TMDB's terms.
Yes — /tmdb/search returns mixed results across movies, TV shows, and people, or you can filter by type. Field availability varies by type: movie and TV hits carry release date and overview; person hits are title and link only.
Collecting publicly accessible movie, TV, and person data is generally permissible if you respect TMDB's terms of use, robots directives, rate limits, and applicable law. This is for public data you are authorized to collect.
