Skip the intro.
Keep the data free.

SkipDB is crowdsourced intro, recap, outro and preview timestamps for movies and TV — contributed by people, reviewed by the community, and published openly so the data can never be quietly locked away or sold.

Try Breaking Bad or Suits.

The data stays open

Code is AGPL-3.0, data is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. A public dump means SkipDB can never be made proprietary or shut down with the data held hostage.

Voted, not just submitted

Timestamps are scored by community votes and cross-checked against the show's established pattern before going live. Outliers go to manual review — so clients get reliable data, not just whatever was submitted first.

Stream-aware matching

Optional per-submission stream duration lets SkipDB compare versions and smart-shift timestamps when a stream has an extra logo or scene at the start.

Four kinds of skippable segment

Intro

Opening titles / theme song

Recap

"Previously on…"

Outro

End credits

Preview

"Next time…"

A free, open API

Reading is open with sensible rate limits — no key required. Pass a stream duration and SkipDB returns the best-matching segment, adjusting timestamps across differing stream lengths.
