The Movie Database (TMDb) is a community-built movie and television show database. Unlike many other movie sites, TMDb relies on contributions from a vast community of users to maintain and expand its comprehensive catalog. It provides detailed information on films and TV series, including cast, crew, plot summaries, trailers, and user reviews.
TMDb stands out because of its focus on community contributions. Its users add, translate, review, and update title information and artwork, helping the database cover productions from different countries, languages, and release periods.
TMDb is an excellent resource for:
TMDb organizes movies, television series, seasons, episodes, collections, companies, networks, and people into connected records. Entries may include localized titles, alternative names, release dates, genres, keywords, production information, content ratings, external identifiers, cast and crew credits, and availability information.
Its image library includes posters, backdrops, logos, profiles, and still images in multiple languages and resolutions. Because artwork is contributed and reviewed by the community, the available selection varies between titles and can expand over time.
TMDb provides API access for developers who want to search its catalog or integrate entertainment metadata and images into applications. API users must follow TMDb's attribution, image, usage, and licensing requirements and should review the current documentation before publishing an integration.
Community-maintained information can be corrected or expanded after an application has cached it. Developers should therefore design integrations to handle missing fields, localized values, changed artwork, merged records, and updated release information.
TMDb is accessible through its website (www.themoviedb.org). The API documentation can be found on their developer site.
