Overview
aioratings serves rating-overlaid movie and TV artwork from a single image URL, the same way RatingPosterDB (RPDB) does. Most tools that already accept an RPDB key and URL can point at aioratings instead — you paste an aioratings API key where the tool asks for an RPDB key.
On top of RPDB-style ratings posters, aioratings adds:
- a custom poster designer — a premium drag-and-drop canvas where you choose which rating badges appear and where, saved as reusable profiles; and
- award badges — a top-right Oscar / Emmy winner statuette (our scraped differentiator), shown automatically and not part of the bottom ratings row.
It is powered by a forked OpenPosterDB engine, so beyond posters it also serves backdrops, logos and episode stills, pulls artwork from multiple sources (TMDB and Fanart.tv, selectable), and supports textless and per-language variants, every image size, and the full RPDB query-param surface.
How the pieces fit
Section titled “How the pieces fit”| Piece | What it does |
|---|---|
| API key | Identifies your account and tier. Sits in the image URL. Create one in Dashboard → API Keys. |
| Image URL | https://api.aioratings.com/{key}/{idType}/poster-default/{id}.jpg. Returns a rendered poster (or the plain source poster as a fallback). |
| Profile / style | The design applied to the poster. poster-default is the built-in style; premium/pro can use a custom profile. |
| Integrations | Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Kodi, Stremio, Kometa, Radarr/Sonarr, MDBList, Discord/Telegram — each consumes that image URL its own way. |
