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
Every figure below is read from the live TMDB endpoint catalog — 7 endpoints, 45 documented request parameters, and 7 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
7 documented TMDB endpoints, grouped into 4 request families — Movie, Person and Tv, plus 1 more.
45 request parameters are documented across those TMDB endpoints, 11 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
7 of the 7 TMDB endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 7 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
TMDB endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 500 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
7 hosted MCP tools back the TMDB endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

/tmdb/search
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.
MCP tool tmdb_search
/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.
MCP tool tmdb_movie
/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.
MCP tool tmdb_tv
/tmdb/movie/listReturns a TMDB movie chart (popular, top rated, now playing, or upcoming). Credential-free public TMDB data.
MCP tool tmdb_movie_list
/tmdb/tv/listReturns a TMDB TV chart (popular, top rated, airing today, or on the air). Credential-free public TMDB data.
MCP tool tmdb_tv_list
/tmdb/person/{id}Returns a normalized TMDB person: biography, birth date, photo, and filmography (movie and TV credits). Credential-free public TMDB data.
MCP tool tmdb_person
/tmdb/person/listReturns one page from TMDB's Popular People directory, including each person's id, name, known-for titles, profile image, and detail URL. Credential-free public TMDB data.
MCP tool tmdb_person_list

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.
