Prices in US dollars. Your monthly limit resets on the same date each month, counting from when you signed up or last changed plan.

Custom volume, terms and support, and unlimited API keys, written around how you actually use the index.

Talk to us

Set a hard cap. We answer with a 429, never a surprise invoice.

API calls past your plan's allowance are refused with a 429 and never billed. Past your verification allowance you choose: keep overage off, or turn it on with a monthly spend ceiling that it never passes.

What the meters count

Both meters count work we do for you. A verification is one trip out to the web: we fetch and confirm where a title is held, then return the institution, the page address, the formats that institution lists, and the moment we checked. Every request to the sources endpoint spends exactly one, whether we crawl for it or already hold the answer — so you are billed when we do the work, and never when you serve a result. API calls are a rate limit rather than a charge: going past the call ceiling is refused, never invoiced.

How the index works

Wambesha works the way a library catalogue does. We describe where a work is held rather than holding it. A plan buys verifications and records, and we have no visibility into what your users do.

We store no media, transcode nothing, and operate no player. Nothing in any plan grants any right to a film.

Acceptable use

Questions

#
What does the API return?
Catalog metadata: titles, seasons and episodes, cast and crew, people and their filmographies, artwork and genres, plus search, lookup by external id, recommendations and a change feed.
Do I need a card to start?
No. The free tier needs no card and has no trial clock.
What happens when I reach my limit?
API calls past your plan's allowance get a 429 and are never billed. Past your verification allowance you get a 429 too, unless you have turned overage on — and then only up to the spend ceiling you set.
How do I authenticate?
Send your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. You create and rotate keys in the console.
Can I change plans later?
Yes, from Billing in the console, at any time.
