Multiple episodes

/episodes.xml

Similar to retrieving a single episode, multiple ids (either Root ID or TMS ID) are passed as a request parameter, and the response is a list of Gracenote Episode entities each containing the same metadata as the response for a single Episode.

Request Parameters

Parameter	Mandatory?	Description
episode_id	Yes	comma-separated list of episode identifiers; accepts either episode's root ID (numeric) or TMS ID (alphanumeric, beginning with 'EP')
api_key	Yes	24-character key obtained during application registration
Region	No	Two-letter region code (see Accessing International Data). To be used only with TMS ID (alphanumeric, beginning with 'SH', 'MV', 'EP')

Sample Request 1
