What you get#
Onekey exposes TMDB as 12 endpoints behind one API key: 3 endpoints return one record (data is an object) and 9 endpoints return a list (data is an array). Every answer uses the same envelope (success, data, metadata, error), the cost is reported in metadata.credits_charged, and fields are mapped onto the unified schema so the code you write for TMDB also works for the rest of the entertainment, art & culture category.

Make a request#
This calls tmdb.movie (1 credit, beta). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key; sign up, no card. 1,000 free credits cover the open-platform endpoints. Hard-to-reach platforms (X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and others marked on their page) need a verified email and a purchased pack.
