Notable changes to the HMDb API

June 25, 2025

v0 public preview (Beta)

The first public preview of the HMDb API. It exposes the read catalogue and the first contribution writes as typed tRPC procedures, reachable over plain HTTPS or with the typed client.

Reads

  • Configuration, Releases, Discs, Tapes: release details with discs, tapes, components, variants and edit history; per-disc capacities, ring codes, contents and checksums.
  • Movies & TV: titles keyed by TMDb id, and the releases that carry them.
  • Franchises & Distributors: details and paged lists.
  • Search, Find, Discover, Stats: free-text search, barcode / DVD-id / hash lookups, attribute filtering, and database-wide counts.

Writes

  • Reviews: add, edit, delete, like and unlike.
  • Trivia: add (and staff removal).
  • Gallery: vote and clear votes on cover art.

Notes

  • Every request now requires a user API key, reads included.
  • Published the @homemediadb/api-types package for a fully-typed tRPC client.
