Movie & TV Search looks up any film or television show and returns ratings from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic alongside cast, director, plot, awards, and box office data. For TV shows it goes further — episode guides, per-episode ratings, full cast lists, and complete season breakdowns.
Whether you're making a watch recommendation, researching a show, or building an entertainment-themed project, this tool gives you the structured data you need in one call. No manual searching across sites, no tab-switching — just ask and get the full picture.
What you can do
- search — find movies or TV shows by name and get IMDB IDs for precise follow-up lookups
- get_details — fetch full ratings, cast, director, plot, awards, and box office for any title
- get_episodes — get the episode list for a specific season with titles, air dates, and per-episode ratings
- tv_show_cast — retrieve the full cast of a TV show with actor and character names
- tv_episodes_detailed — get all seasons at once with episode summaries and ratings
Who it's for
People who want to know whether a show is worth watching before committing. Agents helping users find their next favorite series. Researchers or writers who need entertainment data. Anyone building watchlists, recommendations, or entertainment content.
How to use it
- Start with search to find the title and get the IMDB ID — use it for precise lookups
- Use get_details with the IMDB ID or title for full ratings, cast, and plot information
- For TV shows, use tv_episodes_detailed to get all seasons at once with episode ratings
- Use tv_show_cast when you need the complete character and actor list
Getting started
Search by title first to confirm you have the right show — especially useful for titles with sequels or remakes. Then pass the imdb_id to get_details for reliable, precise results.
