I wrote a blog post about it[0], but basically, I use the TMDB API to get all shows and episodes, which is free and has a generous rate limit.
For the episode descriptions, I grab the plot summaries from IMDB and Wikipedia, with just HTML scraping, no APIs, and feed them to an LLM to get the 3 main plot points, so you don't have to read a bunch of rambling text when trying to quickly assess the episode you're looking at.
