About Rotten Tomatoes

Rotten Tomatoes is a film and TV review aggregator best known for its Tomatometer (critic) and Audience Score percentages. Title pages expose those scores, critic consensus, review counts, cast, and synopsis that are valuable to scrape.

Scraping note: Scores and review lists are hydrated client-side via embedded JSON and API calls, so the rendered DOM may differ from the initial HTML response.

Example Rotten Tomatoes page

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/oppenheimer

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from Rotten Tomatoes

check_small title check_small Tomatometer score check_small Audience Score check_small critic consensus text check_small review counts check_small cast and director

Common use: A movie-metadata service scrapes Rotten Tomatoes title pages to attach critic and audience scores to each film in its database.

Rotten Tomatoes Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Rotten Tomatoes?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Rotten Tomatoes data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override Rotten Tomatoes's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape Rotten Tomatoes without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Rotten Tomatoes without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so Rotten Tomatoes's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Rotten Tomatoes Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Rotten Tomatoes page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the Rotten Tomatoes Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Rotten Tomatoes Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a Rotten Tomatoes account or login?

expand_more
No Rotten Tomatoes login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible Rotten Tomatoes URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any Rotten Tomatoes credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
