Data dumps

Nightly downloads of the whole catalog.

About the dumps

Format

Every series, as JSON, JSONL or SQLite. For what each field means, see Get series by id. The full files add the raw _response from each metadata provider.

Updates

The dumps are rebuilt nightly at 00:00 UTC. How often each series refreshes from its sources is covered in Data and sources.

Stability

The dump schema has no stability promise and can change without notice. Changes so far have been additive. See Versioning and stability.

Wrong data

Fix it at the source site, see Data and sources, or ask on Discord (#data).
