DFI Filmdatabasen Open API

About

Det Danske Filminstitut (DFI) publishes an open API over its Filmdatabasen metadata (titles, synopses, credits) — excluding images, posters, and trailers, which are separately licensed. Access is free under CC BY-SA 2.5 DK, but requires printing and signing a "rekvisition" (requisition) form and emailing it to DFI's AV department rather than a self-serve API-key signup.

Agent Use Cases

• 01Look up Danish film metadata (credits, synopses) for a media-cataloging agent
• 02Cross-reference cast/crew across the Danish film industry

Notes

Free but not instantly self-serve — requires a signed paper requisition form emailed to it_av@dfi.dk before credentials are issued. Metadata only (CC BY-SA 2.5 DK); images, posters, and trailers are excluded and separately licensed.
