What can you build with Rotten Tomatoes?
Rotten Tomatoes is a Media API. Developers commonly use media APIs for:
- storing and delivering images, video, and audio
- building digital asset management and media libraries
- transcoding and optimising media for the web
- adding video streaming and playback to your app
- automating content tagging and metadata extraction
No authentication required. This API is open — no signup or key needed. Ideal for quick prototypes and public-facing features. Rotten Tomatoes is free to use, making it a low-risk choice to experiment with.
