Movie & TV research

Tool scope and data flow

Use the bundled scripts/crawlora.sh helper only for this skill's documented routes in reference/endpoints.md; the helper enforces its exact route and method allowlist. It reads CRAWLORA_API_KEY from the environment and sends it as an x-api-key header over HTTPS to api.crawlora.net. It stores the key in a mode-600 curl config under TMPDIR and removes it when the command exits. It reads TMPDIR only to choose that temporary config location; it does not inspect other environment variables or enumerate files, install software, or run with elevated privileges.

Pull title metadata, cast/crew, ratings, streaming availability, reviews, and box-office numbers across seven film/TV data sources as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API — no scraping IMDb pages or parsing streaming-provider HTML.

When to use this skill

• "Who's in / who directed ?" / cast, crew, and credits lookups.
• "What's rated on IMDb / Rotten Tomatoes / Metacritic / Letterboxd?"
• "Where can I stream ?" (JustWatch offers by provider).
• "How did do at the box office?" (Box Office Mojo).
• "Find titles similar to " or "what's popular right now."
• Critic vs. audience review comparisons; franchise/genre box-office analysis.
