I've heard mixed responses on the summaries containing HTML. Removing them would break BC though, and including both a HTML and a non-HTML version would be a huge waste. So it'll be like this for the forseeable future; at least until we feel the need to start a new API version.

is there actually any real markup in some descriptions? or is it just a P tag thrown around it?

Yeah, there can be actual HTML (A very small subset; basically only B, I, BR and P) markup in the descriptions, though you're much more likely to find that in show summaries than in episode summaries.

I decided to rename the endpoints slightly, but leave them the semantics the same.
http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1/episodebynumber?season=1&number=1
http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1/episodesbydate?date=2013-07-01
They are now out of beta and documented on http://www.tvmaze.com/api
I'll leave the old URL's working for a little while in case you guys already started using them.

Thanks, but could you just confirm that this isn't returning the expected result in case I'm doing it wrong:

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1939/episodebynumber?s...

returns date: 2012-10-12, but querying that date

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1939/episodesbydate?da...

returns not found. But it works with other series, like:

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/134/episodebynumber?se...

returns date: 2006-09-25, and

http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/134/episodesbydate?dat...

returns the correct episode.

Fixed, thanks! It'll start working for that specific episode within the hour when the cache expires.
