  title: Common Sense Media reviews system API
  description: The Common Sense Media Reviews API (v3) provides programmatic access to Common Sense Media's age-rated reviews and ratings of movies, TV shows, books, video games, apps, podcasts, websites, and YouTube channels. Each review includes a recommended age rating, star rating, content grid (educational value, positive messages, role models, diversity, violence, sex, language, consumerism, and drugs), parents-need-to-know guidance, talking points, and product metadata. API access is granted via a business partnership agreement; clients authenticate with a partner- issued x-api-key header.
