Which broadcasting datasets should competitive intelligence teams monitor first?
We rank by detection value for competitive intelligence and product work: the three relevance-3 records lead, four relevance-2 records follow, then six relevance-1 records ordered by quality score.
How fast can you detect a scheduling change at a rival network?
The cadence math across the pack: five datasets, so 6 of 13 refresh at least once a day against the 22.6% daily-update share catalog-wide. Only two records - FCC Open Data Catalog and UK National Data Library - carry an unknown cadence, while Ofcom's quarterly series and EBU's monthly benchmarks trade speed for regulatory depth.
What does BARB show about rival programme performance?
Two BARB records anchor the ratings side of this stack. BARB Weekly Top 50 Shows and Viewing Data (quality 9, weekly) is the pack's designated competitor programme performance watch, ranking the fifty most-watched shows so a rival's breakout enters your dashboard within days of the panel reporting it. BARB Main Site - Viewing Data Hub (quality 8, also weekly) widens the lens to network performance comparisons across the same viewing panel.
Both ship client-side CSV export alongside a JSON API, so the weekly pull drops straight into a spreadsheet or a diff script. What BARB will not give you is forward visibility: it reports what aired, never what a competitor has commissioned. Pair it with TVmaze's future listings and TMDB's next_episode_to_air fields to see the slate before the numbers arrive.
Do any APIs expose competitor pricing for broadcasting?
The nearest evidence is indirect: BARB's weekly top-50 rankings show which rival programmes commanded audiences that rate cards price against, and Ofcom Research and Data (quality 9, quarterly) publishes regulator series revealing audience and complaint shifts across UK broadcasters and platforms in CSV, XLSX, XLSB, PDF and ZIP (SPSS/SAV) bundles.
Straight answers
Is there a competitor pricing data API for broadcasting?
No source here exposes rivals' ad rates or carriage fees. The closest evidence is BARB Weekly Top 50 Shows and Viewing Data (quality 9, weekly), showing which rival programmes drew the audiences rate cards price against, while Ofcom's quarterly research adds audience-share context. TVmaze and TMDB track what competitors schedule, not what they charge.
Where can I get app download estimates by app?
None of these 13 broadcasting datasets publishes app-install estimates. For broadcaster or streamer app installs, pair this stack with app-analytics vendors outside this list.
Which review data API supports broadcasting product research?
This slice holds no review corpus or review API. Neither replaces a dedicated reviews vendor.
How do you monitor broadcasting competitors with data?
Run three loops. Pull TVmaze's `/schedule/full` and change feeds daily to catch premiere moves and cancellations across networks. Check BARB Weekly Top 50 each week for programme performance and the BARB hub for network comparisons. Scan TMDB's daily ID exports and TheTVDB's `/updates` for new seasons on competing platforms.
