The US Broadcasts Data API provides historical data on the most-watched television broadcasts in U.S. history, including viewership numbers, broadcast titles, dates, and networks.
The API returns data in a structured format, typically JSON, which allows for easy parsing and integration into applications.
The API can be used by media researchers to analyze television trends, by developers to create applications that showcase broadcast rankings, and by data analysts to study viewership patterns over time.
The API's output includes fields such as broadcast title, viewership numbers, broadcast date, network, and ranking among other broadcasts.
Developers can integrate the API by making HTTP requests to its endpoints, allowing them to retrieve broadcast data based on specific queries like broadcast names and incorporate that data into their applications.
The "get top broadcasts" endpoint returns a list of the highest-rated television broadcasts in U.S. history, including titles of shows and events that achieved significant viewership.
The "get broadcasts details" endpoint includes fields such as Rank, Broadcast title, Average viewers, Date, and Network(s), providing comprehensive information about a specific broadcast.
Users can customize their requests by specifying parameters such as the broadcast name when using the "get rank by broadcast" and "get broadcasts details" endpoints to retrieve targeted information.
The response data is organized in JSON format, with each endpoint returning an array of objects that contain relevant fields, making it easy to parse and utilize in applications.
The "get rank by broadcast" endpoint provides the rank of a specific broadcast, allowing users to see how it compares to other broadcasts in terms of viewership.
The data is sourced from Nielsen ratings and other verified sources, ensuring that the information on viewership and broadcasts is accurate and reliable.
Users can analyze the returned data to identify trends in television viewership, compare different broadcasts, and create visualizations or reports based on historical broadcast performance.
Users should check their query parameters for accuracy and ensure they are using valid broadcast names. If results are still empty, it may indicate that the broadcast is not in the database.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
