In Praise of The Movie Database
Every poster you have scrolled past on this site, every backdrop blurred behind a hero, every runtime you did not bother to read, came from them. They ask for two things in return: that we credit them, and that we do not pretend they endorsed us. A reasonable request. We have chosen to answer it with an entire page.

The Votive Rack
Light one for the endpoint that has never once asked us for a credit card.
The rack is dark.
The decree, engraved
This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
It is also at the bottom of every page. We took the requirement personally.
Our Vows
- 01We keep the key in .env.local, where Git cannot reach it.
- 02We cache for one hour, that the servers may rest.
- 03We accept the 429 as fair punishment for our greed.
- 04We will not imply they endorsed this. They have not met us.
