TheTVDB

TheTVDB is a community-driven television and movie metadata database founded in 2006. It supplies structured metadata about hundreds of thousands of TV series, movies, people, artwork, awards, and related entities to media center applications, streaming guides, and entertainment apps worldwide. TheTVDB v4 API uses JWT bearer authentication and exposes REST endpoints for series, movies, people, artwork, awards, episodes, genres, languages, countries, companies, content ratings, search, seasons, and updates. Commercial usage requires either a subscriber-supported API key (each end user must maintain a $12/year TheTVDB subscription) or a negotiated commercial license based on company revenue tier.

TheTVDB publishes 29 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Artwork API, Artwork Statuses API, Artwork Types API, and 26 more. Tagged areas include Entertainment, Movies, Television, Media Metadata, and Public APIs.

The TheTVDB catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

TheTVDB’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, signup flow, pricing, support, tooling, and 14 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship Ask about this →
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented) Ask about this →
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes Ask about this →
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0 Ask about this →
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document Ask about this →

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Film & Media Identifiers (EIDR, ISAN, MovieLabs, DPP)	standard	17.2 (thin)	-	-
APIs.guru OpenAPI Directory (API definition directory)	standard	17.2 (thin)	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

description: TheTVDB is a community-driven television and movie metadata database founded in 2006. It supplies structured
  metadata about hundreds of thousands of TV series, movies, people, artwork, awards, and related entities to media center
  applications, streaming guides, and entertainment apps worldwide. TheTVDB v4 API uses JWT bearer authentication and exposes
  REST endpoints for series, movies, people, artwork, awards, episodes, genres, languages, countries, companies, content ratings,
  search, seasons, and updates. Commercial usage requires either a subscriber-supported API key (each end user must maintain
  a $12/year TheTVDB subscription) or a negotiated commercial license based on company revenue tier.
