# Watchmode API

> REST/JSON API for streaming availability, title metadata, people, releases, sources, regions, genres, and change tracking across major streaming services.

Base API URL: https://api.watchmode.com/v1. All API requests require an API key. Prefer the `X-API-Key` request header or `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` over query-string credentials.

The interactive docs at https://api.watchmode.com/docs are powered by Redoc. Coding agents should prefer the raw OpenAPI files below because they contain the complete endpoint and schema definitions without client-side rendering.
