Build with Emanuel's Film & TV Review API and Image CDN.



Introduction

Emanuel's Review provides a free, read-only API for accessing film and TV review data.

The API is available for learning, experimentation and development. For example, you can use it as a data source while learning React, building a frontend, experimenting with API requests, or creating your own interface for Emanuel's Review.

No authentication or API key is required.

API base URL
https://api.emanuels.review

Rate limits

The API is rate limited to prevent abuse while remaining generous enough for normal applications, development and testing.

Rate limit
200 requests per 10 seconds, per IP address
Exceeding the limit results in a 10-second block.

Applications should cache responses where appropriate and handle 429 Too Many Requests responses gracefully when the limit is exceeded.

Image CDN

Images are served through the Emanuel's Review Image CDN, backed by Cloudflare.

The CDN supports on-the-fly image transformations, allowing you to request an image at a specific width and quality without downloading and resizing the original image yourself.

The Image CDN is independent of the API version and can be used with image URLs returned by any API version.

CDN base URL
https://cdn.emanuels.review

Image transformations

Transformations are specified directly in the URL using Cloudflare's image transformation format:

https://cdn.emanuels.review/cdn-cgi/image/width=200,quality=80,format=auto/0997f3d87f3c275de01e0c8ef5b0c7d5.jpg

Options

Option Example Description
width 200 Requested image width in pixels.
quality 80 Controls the output image quality.
format auto Automatically serves an appropriate image format supported by the client.

The general URL format is:

https://cdn.emanuels.review/cdn-cgi/image/width={width},quality={quality},format=auto/{image}
