I'm wondering about the kind of data you provide and what it's applications would be. Just to be sure, would this API somehow let me know if a new episode of say.. Mad Men comes out ?

Or is it only for me to query info regarding a specific episode ? What kind of data are you going to provide ? Some examples would really help!

One would be able to look up a complete representation of the current known state of Mad Men, all known airing dates in all countries, places where it might be available to (legally.) steam in your jurisdiction, etc, etc.

These are all the features of a normal API. As well as access to the above, you could (selectively) register for updates to be pushed to a URL of your choosing when there are additions or amendments to the data held about the show. (or all shows, or all shows matching your criteria, etc)
