Tvdb Plans Pricing
TheTVDB sells API access through two parallel models: a subscriber-supported model where each end user maintains a personal $12/year TheTVDB subscription and the developer uses a free API key on their behalf, and a negotiated commercial license tiered by company annual revenue. The commercial tiers are free under $50k revenue (attribution required), $1,000/year for $50k-$250k, $10,000/year for $250k-$1M, and custom-negotiated terms above $1M. Both models require an API key minted from the dashboard and use JWT bearer auth acquired via /login. Pricing and terms can change at any time without notice.
