## Full analysis


### Overview

The Movie Database (TMDB) is an established public movie and television database offering browsing, trending lists, cast and title information, community contributions, account functionality, advertising-supported access, and API services for business users.


### Scam/Impersonation Risk

No contradictions were observed across the available evidence: there is no indication of phishing, brand impersonation, malicious activity, or conflicting legal identities. The homepage presents a coherent entertainment and community-service model, with ordinary login and registration functions rather than financial solicitation or credential-harvesting behavior. The domain has a long, continuous operating history, a strong global traffic footprint, and clean results across the evaluated external reputation checks, which together support an apparently legitimate and established site while not independently proving the real-world operator’s identity.


Evidence:
- The homepage identifies “The Movie Database (TMDB)” and presents movie, television, people, trending, community, and account features; no phishing or financial-solicitation indicators were identified.
- The domain was registered in 2008 and is approximately 17.92 years old.
- The web archive records 5,000 snapshots spanning 2008–2021, covering 14 tracked years.
- External reputation checks recorded 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections, with no phishing or blacklist finding.

### Regulatory Verification Notes

The site's apparent business model is informational and software-oriented rather than a regulated financial service. Its pages describe advertising, community contributions, and API licensing, but do not present a financial regulatory license or registration number; this is a transparency item for any formal commercial engagement, not evidence of deception. The legal and identity evidence supports an established site, although the available material does not independently connect it to a verified real-world operator. Domain registration through MarkMonitor Inc. and a valid certificate issued by Amazon provide additional administrative and transport-security support.


Evidence:
- The homepage and API pages describe movie and television data, community participation, advertising, and business API access; no regulatory license or registration number is stated in the reviewed content.
- Domain registration lists MarkMonitor Inc. as registrar, with creation on 2008-09-15 and expiration on 2027-09-15.
- The site's transport encryption uses a DV certificate issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M04, valid through 2026-12-02.

### What to Verify Next

Before credential or payment interactions, an enterprise should independently confirm the official site identity, review the applicable privacy, account, API, and commercial terms, and ensure that any paid arrangement identifies the contracting entity and provides appropriate payment protections. For business API procurement, procurement records should retain the relevant service terms, support route, renewal conditions, and refund or dispute provisions. Official contact channels should also be confirmed through an independent route before sensitive account or contractual changes.


Evidence:
- The homepage provides Login, Join TMDB, About TMDB, Contact Us, and API Documentation entry points for direct review.
- The API for Business area is the relevant page for validating commercial service scope and contracting information.
- The account interface includes login, signup, and OAuth options, making independent confirmation of the intended account domain appropriate before credential submission.

### Summary Verdict

The overall posture is **high trust and low risk**, and the available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website. Identity confidence remains qualified because the real-world operator has not been independently verified, but no contradictory scam or impersonation signals were identified.


### Infrastructure Integrity

The site is hosted on mainstream Amazon infrastructure, providing a conventional and stable hosting context; this is a mitigating technical signal, not proof of legitimacy. The observed infrastructure does not itself indicate abusive hosting behavior.


Evidence:
- Served from AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.; US).
- Hosting IP observed as 18.165.140.98 in the United States.

### Closing Assessment

Normal informational use is proportionate to the assessed posture; credentials and paid commitments should proceed only after the ordinary independent identity, terms, and payment-protection checks described above.

## About this assessment


A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about themoviedb.org at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.

TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
