API terms of use confusion
posted by brock.ethanSTAFFMOD on May 16, 2020 at 2:08 PM
Hi there, I had a confusion about your API's terms of use. Is it okay to grab data from TMDb's API, and store it in a different place(cloud storage)? The server will be regularly updated using the API. Will it be a problem if I then use the data stored in this server for a commercial app? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi there, it's strange that you guys still have not reached out yet. Almost every post in this support section got replied to, except this one. I really needed to know if there are any conflicts with your policy in the way I intend to use your API.

Hi @brock.ethan, it's the weekend and I haven't been near a computer since Friday afternoon
The usage you're describing is fine, we don't have any issues with you caching data locally. Just be sure to attribute TMDb for whatever data you use.
Cheers.
