Metacritic API (Fabric Origin) is published by [Metacritic](https://apis.io/providers/metacritic/) on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Reviews, Metascore, Movies, Television, and Critic Scores. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, authentication docs, and rate-limit docs.

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.
