Where our information comes from
Last updated July 13, 2026
This page explains where our show information, artwork, and viewing links come from. It also explains what “Verified,” “Official page,” and “Search” mean on a show page.
TVmaze metadata
Show names, dates, genres, summaries, networks, external identifiers, official-site fields, and poster URLs are obtained from the TVmaze API. TVmaze data is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. Images remain subject to the rights of their respective owners and are served from TVmaze's image host, not copied into our own storage.
We refresh this information at a conservative rate, store it in a versioned JSON catalog, and check identifiers and image sources before publishing.
Apple TV storefront
Selected shows are checked through the Apple Search API using the US TV store. We accept only exact title matches and link to the returned season. These are labeled as purchases, not Apple TV+ subscription availability, and every match includes a check time.
Official free episode catalogs
Our monthly check reads the public PBS KIDS video catalog and official Adult Swim video pages at a conservative rate. For PBS KIDS, the publisher must label the video as a full episode. For Adult Swim, the page must show an unlocked full episode that has not expired. We link to the publisher's show page, never copy or embed its video, and record how many full episodes were visible.
These catalogs rotate. “Verified” means at least one full episode was available on the date shown, not that every season is free or that the same episode will remain available. Browse all currently verified free shows, PBS KIDS, or Adult Swim.
Discovery searches
JustWatch and Plex links run a search for the show. They are always labeled “Search” and never treated as proof of current availability. Check the title, region, and access type on the results page.
What each link label means
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Verified | We found a matching US viewing or purchase option and recorded the date it was checked. |
| Official page | This is the publisher's page for the show, but we have not confirmed that it currently includes full episodes. |
| Search | This searches a provider for the show. Check the result, region, and current access type yourself. |
