Overview
Czech Television API gives you access to the current TV programme schedule from Czech public television broadcaster. It returns XML data with show titles, air times, and channel information — no API key required. Great for building schedule widgets, reminder apps, or experimenting with real broadcast data.
Beginner Tip
The response is in XML format, so parse it with an XML library (e.g. xml2js in Node.js or ElementTree in Python) rather than trying to parse it as plain text.
