q.Yes — completely free. Search the site or hit the /api/msearch endpoint directly without an API key.
Each result has id, title, type (Movie / TV Series / Mini Series), year (and yearEnd for shows), cast, poster, watchUrl and imdbUrl.
Watch URLs are redirect links to third-party streaming aggregators — CineSter does not host video. Availability depends on the upstream provider.
Fair-use limits apply to prevent abuse. Normal browser and app usage will never hit them.
Yes — search returns both movies and TV shows. Filter client-side on the type field.
The poster field is a direct HTTPS image URL — drop it into an <img> tag.
