Using the API to create a discussion site

koala wrote 3 months ago: 1

Hi,

I'm pondering creating a small forum to discuss TV series that would "postpone" messages about episodes you have not yet seen.

The forum would use the TVmaze API mostly for episode lists and airdates.

Do you see any issue in implementing this? I would most likely implement seen tracking in the forum, because otherwise everyone would need TVmaze premium.

I suspect I could extract most of the data on the fly and cache things to avoid rate limits, but it would be cool to be able to keep the data replicated.

Cheers,

Álex

Sounds like a cool idea :) I see no issues, sounds like the only thing you'll need is episode airstamp and you can fetch those from the API trivially.

Try 30 days of free premium.
