API - MPAA Rating Reasons
posted by Robert CSTAFFMOD on May 19, 2020 at 2:10 AM
Hi Everyone, I’ve recently been experimenting with the API. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to get the reasons for the MPAA Rating (I.e A show with violence and strong language is rated TV-MA and then through the API it returns the reasons for the rating, in this case violence and strong language). If this is a thing within an API does anyone know how to get it? Thanks!

Hi @Jellyfish_3, we do not currently collect/store that level of information in the database at this time. I am not sure if (or where) it is available.

Thanks for the prompt response @travisbell! I think I found it on another API somewhere, I’ll post that here if I can find it for anyone else looking for a method like this. Thanks.
Edit: MPAA Rating Reasons are available here: Common Sense Media API Guide
