EIDR provides a standardized and globally recognized identification system for media assets. By providing EIDR data on the AWS Data Exchange platform, users can benefit from standardized metadata and consistent identification across different content providers, enhancing data consistency and reducing ambiguity. Content providers, studios, distributors, and other industry participants submit their own data to EIDR, including titles and versions for films, TV shows, podcasts.
Data Science and Metadata Providers utilize EIDR to validate and normalize the data that they collect and provide to their customers.
Software Developers use EIDR data to disambiguate multiple data sets into a single golden record.
Content providers, studios and distributors contribute to the EIDR registry.
Media distributors utilize EIDR ID's and associated metadata to distribute on direct to consumer platforms.
Major studios and streaming platforms utilize EIDR IDs to automate their digital supply chains both inside the organization as well as in working with external vendors and distributors.

Public Registry
EIDR serves as a public registry by offering a standardized identification system for audiovisual content, maintaining a comprehensive database of metadata, and enabling global access and integration with industry systems. Its openness and collaborative nature make it a valuable resource for the entertainment industry. The EIDR registry is publicly accessible, meaning anyone can access the registry and search for information about specific audiovisual works. This open access allows stakeholders in the entertainment industry, including content creators, distributors, broadcasters, and digital platforms, to easily identify and reference specific works. Automation and bulk processing are not a part of the free service. Individual EIDR IDs are resolvable here.
If you are enabling subscription verification for your products, you may elect to indicate the information

About EIDR
EIDR (Entertainment ID Registry) is a unique identifier system for audio and video content, designed to provide a standard way of identifying and tracking works across the media supply chain. EIDR is an open, non-profit, industry-funded organization that assigns unique identifiers to movies, TV shows, and other audiovisual works, as well as the associated video assets (e.g., trailers, clips, and extras). The EIDR system generates a unique identifier, which is stored in a central registry and linked to metadata describing the work, such as its title, creators, and distribution channels. This identifier can be used to track the distribution and consumption of the work across multiple platforms, including digital distribution, broadcast, and physical media. The EIDR system is used by a range of companies in the media industry, including studios, distributors, broadcasters, and digital service providers. By providing a standardized way of identifying and tracking content, EIDR aims to streamline the media supply chain, reduce errors and redundancies, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of content management and distribution.

You buy access to the EIDR Registry Mirror through a single contract dimension, Product Access (Units). This is a subscription grant that enables you to use the product. Billing runs annually on your anniversary date. Access covers registry search, ID creation, and API use as part of your participation. There are no per-ID or per-query fees within your subscription. You select the unit quantity for your contract, and pricing follows that quantity. This one dimension defines your access, so there are no separate add-ons or usage tiers to layer on top.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one unit of Product Access grant me?
One unit grants your organization access to the registry service. This includes unlimited ID creation with no per-ID fees, unlimited API use with no rate limits, and registry search across all records. You can create records for titles, edits, seasons, episodes, and variants at any scale.
Does my cost change if I register more titles or make more API calls?
No. Your access covers unlimited ID creation and unlimited API use. There are no per-ID fees or API rate limits. Registering more works or increasing query volume does not add charges within your subscription. You can start with active titles and expand your catalog over time.
What is not included in this access, and does it provide rich metadata?
The service is a registry, not a metadata provider. It supplies persistent, unique identifiers plus limited metadata used to de-duplicate records. It does not track rights or ownership. It works alongside your existing metadata systems and databases rather than replacing them.
