Metacritic is a review aggregator that collects critic and user scores for games, movies, TV shows, and music, computing a weighted Metascore for each title. The Metacritic API (provided via Fabric Origin / IVA / Gracenote) gives programmatic access to Metascores, user scores, individual critic reviews, publication details, and entertainment rankings for movies and television. Unofficial community-built wrappers also expose game, movie, and TV data from Metacritic's public backend.
