# Introduction

FullDatasets is the catalog data source you and your AI agents can trust. Canonical **books**, **authors**, **food**, and **movies & TV** over REST and MCP. One Bearer key works on both. Pay per request; bulk dumps are issued by email.

| Books release | `2026-09.2` (`books.v1`) — Open Library |
| Food schema | `food.v1` — USDA FoodData Central + Open Food Facts pack shots (`2026-10.2` images) |
| Movies & TV schema | `movies_tv.v1` — Wikidata spine (CC0) with IMDb / TMDB / TVmaze cross-ids |
| REST | `https://api.fulldatasets.com` |
| MCP | `https://mcp.fulldatasets.com/mcp` |
| OpenAPI | https://api.fulldatasets.com/openapi.json |
| Agent spec (this site, one file) | https://fulldatasets.com/docs.md |
