Metacritic API (Fabric Origin)

The official Metacritic API, delivered through Fabric Origin (formerly IVA / Gracenote), provides structured access to Metascores, user scores, and individual critic reviews for movies and TV shows. Requests are authenticated with a subscription key passed via the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header or as a query parameter. Access requires a paid Fabric Origin subscription — data is not available on free trial plans and each developer account must be approved before use.
