TV Schedule & Shows Scraper

Get TV schedules as clean rows: what airs on which network and when, for any country and any date. Plus streaming release dates (what drops on web services each day, worldwide or per country) and show lookups with ratings, genres and status.

Built for TV guide and entertainment app builders, "what to watch" newsletters, Discord bots and media bloggers. Schedule a run every morning and always have today's TV lineup as structured data; or pull a month of schedules in one go.

What you get for each episode

• show and episodeName, with season and episode number
• airtime and airstamp: local air time plus an exact timestamp
• channel: the network or streaming service, with its country
• genres, showRating, showStatus: for filtering what matters

Show lookup mode gives one row per show instead: status (running or ended), premiere and end dates, network, genres, rating, runtime, language, a short summary, official site and IMDb id.

Three modes

• Broadcast TV schedule: pick a country (US, GB, DE, AU...) and a date or range — one row per episode airing on TV networks.
• Streaming releases: what comes out on web and streaming channels that day. Leave the country empty for worldwide.
• Show lookup: search shows by name, get the best matches with full details.

Pricing

$0.002 per row. Days with nothing airing, bad country codes and shows that match nothing are free, and the first 2 rows of every run are free. A full US broadcast day (about 100 episodes) costs about $0.20; a daily morning run for a month is about $6, versus commercial TV listing APIs that start around $100 per month.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries work? Any country whose networks are tracked by the TVMaze community catalogue — the US and UK have the deepest coverage, and most of Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan and others are well covered.

Is this movies too? No, television and streaming shows only. For where movies and shows stream, see our Streaming Availability Scraper.

How current is it? Schedules update continuously; a run reflects the catalogue at that moment. Future dates work as far as networks have announced.

Where does the data come from? The public TVMaze API, a community-maintained TV database (data licensed CC BY-SA).
