# Metacritic API Docs

Implement Metacritic reviews and MetaScores using Fabric Origin's Id's.

Before You Begin

Prior to getting access to the endpoints, each developer account must be approved. To get access developers need:

* A paid subscription to one of Fabric Origin's core solutions.
* Agree to the [Terms of Service](https://ivastorage.blob.core.windows.net/docs/Terms%20of%20Service%20to%20Use%20Metacritic%20Content%20from%20IVA_1\[19188].pdf) of use.

*Please note, Metacritic data is not available on Free Trial subscriptions. For more information, contact Sales.*

Metacritic Implementation

The [Metacritic API](broken://pages/71b03e4638e553501f8bde7f675ada8c09230ba2) has two endpoints to get reviews, one for Movies and another for Shows. You only need to pass the Fabric Origin Movie or Show ID for the program and get back any related Metacritic reviews. Be sure to follow the branding guidelines below for displaying the scores and logos.

### Metacritic Marks Usage Guidelines

1. **Metacritic Trademark.** When referred to in print only the “M” in Metacritic and Metascore must be capitalized, the remaining letters are in lower case (i.e. “Metacritic” and “Metascore”).
2. **Metascore Specifications**<br>

6. **Displaying multiple Metascores.** When multiple Metascores are displayed on a screen (e.g. search results page), it is not necessary to display the Metacritic Logo or wordmark next to each score. The Metascore badge (ex. 7 or 8) should be displayed on the same screen.<br>
