Overview

Stream.cz is a Czech online video platform offering free access to TV series, films, and original content. Its GraphQL API lets you query available videos, episodes, and metadata programmatically. It is a good introduction to GraphQL for developers who want to try a query-based API.

Beginner Tip

This API uses GraphQL, not REST — you send POST requests with a JSON body containing your query string. Use the built-in GraphiQL explorer at the URL to interactively write and test queries before putting them in code.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

movie title and year
director and cast
plot summary
IMDb rating
poster image URL
genre and runtime

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

JSON Response · Illustrative

Field Reference

data Top-level GraphQL response wrapper containing your query results.
errors Present only on query errors; each item has a message field explaining the problem.
title Title of the show or video (in Czech).
description Short description or synopsis of the content.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request
const url = "https://api.stream.cz/graphql";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

400 Bad Request with "errors" array The GraphQL query has a syntax error or references non-existent fields.
Use the GraphiQL UI at api.stream.cz/graphiql to validate your query and explore the schema.
Empty data object The query is valid but no content matches the specified filters.
Remove extra filters or reduce limit/offset values to broaden the search.
Czech-only content returned The platform is Czech, so titles and descriptions may be in Czech.
This is expected — the API serves Czech content; plan for Czech-language text in your application.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
