What is streaming metadata?
Streaming metadata is the structured information that describes a movie or TV show: what it's called in each market, what it's about, who made it and who's in it, how it's classified, what its artwork looks like and which identifiers other systems use for it. Search, recommendations, catalog management and licensing analysis all run on it.
Reelgood builds its metadata with a machine-learning matching model. The model resolves records from hundreds of sources into one clean record per title, removes duplicates and keeps each record current as streaming services change their catalogs. It's the same system Reelgood built to run its own consumer streaming guide.
What's in a Reelgood movie record?
Here's Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) as it appears in Reelgood's dataset. Every movie carries the same structure, from its canonical ID through cast, classification and production details.

How deep does Reelgood's TV metadata go?
Reelgood's TV metadata goes down to the individual episode. Each show links to its seasons, and each season links to its episodes, so a product team can build a full series page or an analyst can count episodes by network from one dataset. Yellowstone shows the structure: a full show record, then every season and episode beneath it.

What talent data does Reelgood include?
Reelgood holds 1.2MM+ talent records. Every person gets their own Reelgood ID and a filmography with role and character names, and credits on each title carry role type, character name and billing rank. Talent records are disambiguated by credit history, so two actors who share a name stay separate people.

Why does a single canonical record matter?
Duplicate records are one of the most common problems with metadata from legacy providers. The same film shows up twice under slightly different titles, a show's seasons split across separate records, or two services' versions of an episode never get joined. Every downstream system inherits the mess: duplicate tiles in an app, double-counted titles in an analysis, broken links between availability and metadata.
Reelgood's machine-learning matching resolves every source into one canonical record per title. Each movie, show, season, episode and person exists exactly once in the dataset, with one immutable Reelgood ID, so there are no duplicate or mismatched records to clean up on your side.

Record per title
Every source is matched to the same canonical record, whatever title, year or ID format it arrives with.
Duplicates to clean up
Records are deduplicated before delivery, so your catalog never shows the same title twice.
Matching, not manual curation
Matching uses metadata signals and confidence scoring, so it works even when sources share no IDs.
How does Reelgood match to your IDs?
Reelgood maps its records to your data, so switching providers doesn't mean rebuilding your catalog keys. Every title has one immutable Reelgood ID, and that ID is joined to three kinds of identifiers.
Industry standard identifiers
EIDR, Wikidata and other industry standard identifiers, carried on each movie, show and episode record.
Streaming service IDs
Hundreds of service-specific IDs, such as Disney+ and Prime Video title IDs, mapped across regions to the one Reelgood ID.
Your own IDs
Send your catalog and Reelgood's ML model matches it using title, year, cast and other signals. No shared IDs are required, and the delivery comes back keyed to your identifiers.
Which metadata fields are available?
Reelgood's metadata is organized into nine field groups, the same groups listed in the Data Dictionary, where you can pick the fields you need and scope a sample by country and streaming service.

| Credits and production | Talent, role type, role, rank, production company | Movies, shows, episodes |
| Artwork and video | 2:3 poster, 16:9 poster, 16:9 background image, trailer URL (limited coverage) | Movies, shows, episodes |
| Industry identifiers | EIDR ID, Wikidata ID and other industry standard identifiers | Movies, shows, episodes |

Localized versions are available in 15 countries, and every movie, show, season, episode and person links to one canonical Reelgood ID.
How does Reelgood keep its metadata accurate?
Reelgood builds its metadata with a machine-learning matching model that matches, normalizes and deduplicates records from hundreds of sources. The model has been trained on feedback from more than 100 million users of Reelgood's consumer app. Every title resolves to a single canonical record, so there are no duplicates. Automated anomaly checks and daily human review catch issues, and changes show up within five minutes of ingestion.
Can Reelgood match its metadata to our own IDs?
Yes. Reelgood's ML model can match your catalog to Reelgood records using title, year, cast and other signals, with no shared IDs required. Reelgood then delivers metadata keyed to your identifiers, alongside the canonical Reelgood ID, EIDR, Wikidata and hundreds of streaming service IDs.
How is Reelgood metadata delivered?
Most Reelgood customers take a dedicated S3 export in JSON, XML, CSV, Parquet or ORC, with daily or weekly full files and daily incrementals. The Reelgood Partner API handles real-time lookups and search, and artwork is served from a global image CDN. Reelgood can also map the export directly to your schema.
Does Reelgood include episode-level metadata?
Yes. Every episode in Reelgood's dataset carries its season and episode number, title, synopsis, air date and runtime, linked to its season and show. Episode stills and backdrops are available for many series, and episode records share the same canonical ID structure as movies and shows.
