Does the TVmaze API require an integration key?

No. TVmaze's main REST API responds to plain HTTPS requests without authentication, returning JSON for schedules by country and date, /schedule/full future listings, shows paginated at 250 per page, cast, crew, AKAs and images. A separate user-level API for Premium members and an Enterprise API for custom terms exist alongside the free tier.

Can I use free EPG data in a commercial app?

With TVmaze, yes, under commercial delivery terms-SA 4.0: credit TVmaze with a link back to the relevant tvmaze.com page and keep derivatives share-alike; projects that cannot accept those terms can move to the paid Enterprise API. TMDB prohibits building destination sites or LLM-based query systems on its data without written authorization, and TheTVDB charges once annual revenue passes $50,000.

Where do I get a bulk EPG feed instead of per-day calls?

Three routes exist in this slice. TVmaze's /schedule/full returns all future scheduled episodes in one multi-megabyte response. TMDB regenerates daily gzip newline-delimited ID exports for TV series and TV networks each morning UTC, retained for three months. TheTVDB's /updates endpoint exposes change history, letting you sync incrementally rather than re-fetching the catalogue.

How much EPG data can you pull before paying anyone?

That leaves TVmaze as one of the 10 of 15 primary broadcasting datasets that are entirely free, and one of the 8 of 15 exposing an official API. Free EPG input data is genuinely available; free audience measurement to pair with it is not.

Should you build on TMDB or TheTVDB instead?

Both also localise: TMDB takes language and region parameters across its global catalogue, and TheTVDB supplies multilingual name and overview translations - the difference between an English-only guide and one that renders correctly for a mixed audience.
