**Method:** `csfd.movie(id: number | string, options?: CSFDOptions): Promise`
The ID can be a number, a slug (`'535121-na-spatne-strane'`) or a full ČSFD URL. The same works for creators and users.
```typescript
import { csfd } from 'node-csfd-api';
// Using async/await
const movie = await csfd.movie(535121);
// Alternatively, using promises
csfd.movie(535121).then((movie) => console.log(movie));

### User Ratings
> Retrieve user ratings from their ČSFD profile.
**Method:** `csfd.userRatings(user: number | string, config?: CSFDUserRatingConfig, options?: CSFDOptions): Promise`
#### Basic Usage
```typescript
import { csfd } from 'node-csfd-api';
// Latest ratings (first page, ~50 items)
const ratings = await csfd.userRatings('912-bart');
```
#### Advanced Options
```typescript
// Get specific page
const page2 = await csfd.userRatings('912-bart', { page: 2 });
// Get all ratings (use with caution - rate limiting applies)
const allRatings = await csfd.userRatings('912-bart', {
allPages: true,
allPagesDelay: 2000 // 2 second delay between requests
});
// Filter by content type
const onlyMovies = await csfd.userRatings('912-bart', {
includesOnly: ['film']
});
const excludeEpisodes = await csfd.userRatings('912-bart', {
excludes: ['episode', 'season']
});
```
> ⚠️ **Be considerate**: `allPages` sends one request per page. Keep a delay between them (`allPagesDelay`) so you don't put unnecessary load on ČSFD.

}
];
```
#### CSFDUserReviewsConfig
Same options as [CSFDUserRatingConfig](#csfduserratingconfig).
### Language & Request Options
Every method accepts `CSFDOptions` as its last argument:
| Option | Type | Description |
| ---------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `language` | `'cs' \| 'en' \| 'sk'` | Language of titles, genres etc. (default `cs`) |
| `request` | `RequestInit` | Extra `fetch` options, e.g. custom headers or an abort signal |
```typescript
import { csfd } from 'node-csfd-api';
// For a single call
const movie = await csfd.movie(535121, { language: 'en' });
const ratings = await csfd.userRatings(912, { page: 2 }, { language: 'sk' });
// For all subsequent calls
csfd.setOptions({ language: 'en' });
```
### Error Handling
When a page can't be fetched, methods reject with a `CsfdError`. Its `reason` tells you why:
| `reason` | Meaning |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `not-found` | The movie, creator or user doesn't exist (HTTP 404) |
| `blocked` | ČSFD declined the request, e.g. too many requests |
| `http` | ČSFD answered with another error status |
| `network` | The request didn't complete (offline, DNS, timeout, …) |
```typescript
import { csfd, CsfdError } from 'node-csfd-api';
try {
await csfd.movie(999999999);
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof CsfdError && error.reason === 'not-found') {
console.log(`Not found: ${error.url} (HTTP ${error.status})`);
}
}
```
### Browser Verification Cookie
ČSFD sometimes asks visitors to complete a short browser verification. The library completes it automatically and reuses the resulting cookie for the following requests. The cookie is tied to your IP address and stays valid for about a week, so you can keep it between runs:
```typescript
import { getAnubisCookie, resetAnubisCookie, setAnubisCookie } from 'node-csfd-api';
const cookie = getAnubisCookie(); // Save it, e.g. to a file or a database
setAnubisCookie(cookie); // Restore it on the next start
resetAnubisCookie(); // Forget it and verify again on the next request
```
## 💻 CLI Tools
This library ships with a CLI exposing several tools. Choose the installation method that fits your workflow.
### Installation
**Option A: npx** _(no installation required)_
> Runs directly via Node.js
```bash

## 🤖 MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)
This library includes a built-in [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server. This allows you to use ČSFD data directly within LLMs like **Claude Desktop**.
### Features
- **Search**: Search for movies, TV series, creators and users.
- **Details**: Get comprehensive details about movies and creators.
- **Users**: Read user ratings and reviews.
### Usage with Claude Desktop
Add the following configuration to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"csfd": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "node-csfd-api", "mcp"]
}
}
}
```
### Other Clients
**Claude Code**
```bash
claude mcp add csfd -- npx -y node-csfd-api mcp
```
**Cursor:** add the same `mcpServers` configuration as for Claude Desktop to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (or `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project).
**VS Code:** add this to `.vscode/mcp.json` in your project:
```json
{
"servers": {
"csfd": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "node-csfd-api", "mcp"]
}
}
}
```
### Supported Tools
- `search`: Search movies, TV series, creators and users (returns IDs for the other tools)
- `get_movie`: Movie or TV series details by ID
- `get_creator`: Creator details and filmography by ID
- `get_user_ratings`: User ratings (by page)
- `get_user_reviews`: User reviews (by page)
- `get_cinemas`: Cinema showtimes
Every tool returns structured data with a declared output schema, so clients know which fields to expect. There is also an `actor-top-rated` prompt that finds and ranks the best movies of an actor or creator.
## 🐳 Docker Support
Run the CSFD API as a standalone REST service using Docker.
### Using Pre-built Image
```bash
# Pull the latest image
docker pull bartholomej/node-csfd-api
# Run the container
docker run -p 3000:3000 bartholomej/node-csfd-api
```
### Building Your Own Image
```bash
# Build the image
docker build -t node-csfd-api .
# Run the container
docker run -p 3000:3000 node-csfd-api
```
### REST API
Start the server with Docker (above), `csfd server` or `npx node-csfd-api server`, then access it at `http://localhost:3000`:
| Endpoint | Description | Example |
| ------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `/movie/:id` | Movie or TV series details | `/movie/535121` |
| `/search/:query` | Search | `/search/tarantino` |
| `/creator/:id` | Creator details | `/creator/2120` |
| `/user-ratings/:id` | User ratings | `/user-ratings/912-bart?page=2` |
| `/user-reviews/:id` | User reviews | `/user-reviews/195357?allPages=true` |
| `/cinemas` | Today's showtimes in Praha | `/cinemas` |
All endpoints accept `?language=cs|en|sk`. User ratings and reviews also accept `page`, `allPages`, `allPagesDelay`, `includesOnly` and `excludes` (comma-separated, e.g. `?excludes=episode,season`).
**Configuration** (environment variables):
| Variable | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `PORT` | Port to listen on (default `3000`) |
| `API_KEY` | One or more comma-separated keys. When set, every request must send one of them |
| `API_KEY_NAME` | Request header carrying the key (default `x-api-key`) |
| `LANGUAGE` | Default language: `cs`, `en` or `sk` |
| `VERBOSE` | Set to `true` to log successful requests as well |
```bash
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e API_KEY=my-secret bartholomej/node-csfd-api
```
**Errors** are returned as JSON (`{ "error": "MOVIE_FETCH_FAILED", "message": "…" }`) with a matching status:
| Status | When |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `400` | The ID isn't a valid ČSFD ID, slug or URL |
| `401` | API key is missing or invalid |
| `404` | The movie, creator or user doesn't exist, or unknown endpoint |
| `502` | ČSFD is unreachable or answered with an error |
| `503` | ČSFD declined the request |
| `500` | Unexpected error |

## 🔒 Privacy & Security
**This library does not collect, store, or transmit any user data.**
All requests are made directly from your application to ČSFD.cz. No intermediary servers are involved, and no data is logged or stored by this library.
I physically can't. I have nowhere to store it. I don't even have a server database to store it. So even if Justin Bieber asked nicely to see your data, I wouldn't have anything to show him.
### Important Notes
- This is a **scraping library** - use it responsibly and respect ❤️ ČSFD's terms of service
- Implement appropriate rate limiting in production
- Consider caching responses to minimize server load
- Be aware of CORS restrictions when using in browsers
