PonyAPI

A simple API for episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic to be run inside a container.

API Usage

An episode will have the following data type:

{
      "air_date": 1286735400,
      "episode": 1,
      "is_movie": false,
      "name": "Friendship is Magic Part 1",
      "season": 1
}

This represents Season 1, Episode 1 of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The air_date column represents the date and time that the episode was originally shown on The Hub (now Discovery Family Network). If is_movie is set and the season number is 99, the episode record should be treated as a movie.

Usage Limits

None. Don't make the server it's running on crash and we'll all be good.
