Get API access

The public read API needs no key

Everything under GET /api/v1/series, GET /api/v1/episodes, and the rest of the public read surface is open right now — no account, no API key, no rate-limit wall for reasonable use. See the API guide for the full endpoint list.

The one gated endpoint: bulk export

GET /api/v1/export returns the entire dataset in one call, with an embedded attribution manifest. Because a silent anonymous bulk download has much weaker "they agreed to the license" standing than a click-through does, that one endpoint requires an API key sent as an X-API-Key header. Request one below — it costs nothing and requires only an email address and accepting the dataset's CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.

Using the key

Send it as a header on the export request:

curl http://app:8000/api/v1/export -H "X-API-Key: <your key>"

Done with it?

Revoke your key yourself, any time — no approval step needed. This also deletes the email address you provided above; see the privacy policy for why we collect it in the first place.

curl -X POST http://app:8000/api/v1/export/revoke -H "X-API-Key: <your key>"
