Images
Streaming Availability API provides an extensive image archive for shows, streaming services and addons. Here in this guide we will go over the details of these images.
Show Images
For shows, Streaming Availability API provides 4 different image types. These are vertical poster, horizontal poster, vertical backdrop and horizontal backdrop. These images are returned as part of a show object for all the show-related endpoints.
All the urls for show images are valid from 6 months to 1 year. Thus, if you are planing to store image urls locally, make sure to refresh them periodically.

Service & Addon Images
For streaming services and addons, Streaming Availability API provides 3 different image types. These are light theme logo, dark theme logo and white logo.
All the logos come with vertical padding to make them look proportional with each other when displayed side by side. Thus, you do not need to add any extra padding to the logos, and you can display them nicely by using the same height value for all of them.
