Does anyone know how to programmatically obtain TV listings for a particular time zone? Is there a service I can subscribe to?

Thanks.

  • Have you checked with the content providers? I.e., the TV networks and cable channels. It seems that they would provide this information. Have you checked **any** of their web sites for listing information? – S.Lott Aug 09 '10 at 15:57

Searching for TV Listings API has a lot of promising results, but I don't think you're going to find any free ones, for better or worse.

Check your cable provider or try to scrape off their sites?

As far as I searched, the only viable solution I've found is this one :

http://services.tvrage.com/

They provide a public API that is quite complete and updated regularly, but it's not timezone dependant.

I'm afraid that what you are asking is too specific. Maybe you should create it yourself ? ;)

You could contact the team behind Zapping.io. They have an API for the television programming with metadata (actors, plot, posters and ratings)
