  description: >-
    The Common Sense Media Reviews API (v3) provides programmatic access to
    Common Sense Media's age-rated reviews and ratings of movies, TV shows,
    books, video games, apps, podcasts, websites, and YouTube channels. Each
    review includes a recommended age rating, star rating, content grid
    (educational value, positive messages, role models, diversity, violence,
    sex, language, consumerism, and drugs), parents-need-to-know guidance,
    talking points, and product metadata. API access is granted via a
    business partnership agreement; clients authenticate with a partner-
    issued x-api-key header.
