Can we use tv.apple.com to use their epiosde image and episode descriptions for shows from other networks since it has a lot of them on that site not sure if those ones are permitted but i notice it uses the official epiosde image but wasnt sure if could use both for episodes.
Official sources are preferred but if the ATV images seem to match the official ones they're acceptable to use.
There are some steps to it, though
You will have to make sure you go into each individual episode and get the image there as the ones on the main show page are blurred
You also have to change the image size to 1920x1080 by editing the last bit of the image url
And as a sidenote I see you've started adding images to other shows, which quite frankly makes me a little nervous, so let me remind you of our image policy that you can find here; https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/16/episode-extras#gallery
And make a note of the bit that says use the highest resolution available for every image as I just had to remove and replace every image you added to Locker Diaries: Phineas and Ferb

Sorry i got it from the disneyplus website i jsut copied their image url for the image for that show.
Getting the images can be a bit of a process for most sites, so we have a guide for it explaining the steps for some of the more popular sites out there;

And if the image size you end up with isn't 1920x1080 or 3840x2160 then I think it's safe to say you can assume there's more to it and that there's either a trick you missed or that another source might be better

I didnt realize there was a faq for that i was trying to find it the other day but i couldnt find it sorry.
Also what about episode descriptions can i use tv.apple.com to get the episdoe descriptions snce i notice it combines a lot of websites for shows and episodes.
I noticed for paramountplus it wasnt listed i got this image url from doing page info and finding it in media is this fine https://thumbnails.cbsig.net/_x/w1920/CBS_Production_Entertainment_VMS/2020/09/26/1795639875916/NICKELODEON_THEWILDTHORNBERRYS_003_286388_1920x1080.jpg I wanted to replace the first episode image for wild thornberrys for firfst episdoe woudl that iamge url be fine since I am going to start doing official episode images from now on instead of just doing screnshots like i was doing in the past.

Sites like Apple and Amazon, etc tend to slightly rewrite descriptions, so using the official ones is preferred.

Okay thanks i wasnt sure had to ask.
For episode segments how do we deal with that for images since those dont have an oficial image do we use the title card for that episode instead if it has one or do we use a screenshot or....?
