How it works

1. Search mode: Fetches the RT search page which contains SSR <search-page-media-row> web components with score attributes and title links. Extracts URLs, then fetches each detail page.
2. Details mode: Directly fetches provided URLs.
3. Data extraction: Each detail page has JSON-LD Movie/TVSeries schema plus inline JSON blobs containing audience scores, critics scores, synopsis, and consensus.

Notes

• Tomatometer represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive.
• Audience Score represents the percentage of audience members who rated the film/show positively.
• Search results include both movies and TV shows.
• Residential proxies recommended to avoid rate limiting.
