Question 1

What does this endpoint do?

Accepted Answer

This endpoint retrieves movie information from the Cinema API, including available metadata and playback information where supported.

Question 2

How is usage billed?

Accepted Answer

Usage is billed based on the number of API credits consumed. Cinema API uses volume-based pricing, so the per-credit price decreases as your usage increases.

Question 3

Do I have to pay a monthly subscription?

Accepted Answer

No. Cinema API supports pay-as-you-go usage, so you are charged based on your actual API usage rather than being required to purchase a monthly subscription.

Question 4

What happens when I use more credits?

Accepted Answer

Higher usage automatically moves into the applicable volume pricing tier. Credits within each tier are charged at that tier's per-credit rate.

Question 5

Are failed requests charged?

Accepted Answer

No. Only successful API requests are charged.

Question 6

How do I authenticate?

Accepted Answer

Requests require the API authentication credentials provided by the marketplace.

Question 7

Can I use the API in a production application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cinema API is designed for integration into applications and services that need programmatic access to movie data and related API functionality.

Question 8

Does the API provide movie playback?

Accepted Answer

Cinema API supports playback functionality for supported content through its playback endpoint. Playback access is subject to the API's authentication and access requirements.

Question 9

Does the API store my application's data?

Accepted Answer

Cinema API does not require you to upload or maintain your application's own user data. Your application remains responsible for any user data it collects.

Question 10

How quickly does the API respond?

Accepted Answer

Response times depend on the requested endpoint and upstream services. Normal API requests are designed for programmatic use and return structured responses suitable for application integration.

Question 11

Can I test the API before paying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the available free tier or included credits, if provided by your marketplace plan, to test the API before committing to higher-volume usage.

Question 12

What happens if I reach my plan's usage limit?

Accepted Answer

Requests beyond an applicable plan limit may be rejected until your usage allowance resets or you switch to an applicable higher-volume or pay-as-you-go option.

Question 13

Where can I report a problem?

Accepted Answer

If you encounter an API error or unexpected response, provide the endpoint, request parameters, response/error message, and approximate time of the request when contacting support. Do not include API keys or other credentials.
