PublicMetaDB is a tracker provider that connects with an API key.
PublicMetaDB support is experimental.
Prefer a one-way flow into PublicMetaDB.
Start with your media server as the source and PublicMetaDB as the target.
Watchlist — movies and shows
Ratings — movies, shows, and episodes
History — movies and episodes
Progress — movies and episodes
PublicMetaDB uses an API key.
Open Settings → Authentication.
Open PublicMetaDB.
In PublicMetaDB, create an API key in Settings → API.
Paste the key into API Key.
Click Connect.
If needed, click Verify once.
API keys usually start with pm-.
PublicMetaDB supports multiple profiles.

Click New to add a profile.
Click Delete to remove a non-default profile.
Guide: Profiles
“Connected” only means CrossWatch saved an API key.
Verify checks the key against PublicMetaDB.
If verify fails, rotate the key in PublicMetaDB and reconnect.
Stored under:
publicmetadb.api_key
publicmetadb.instances.<profile>.api_key
Common shared settings:
publicmetadb.base_url
publicmetadb.watchlist_name
publicmetadb.watchlist_list_id
publicmetadb.ratings_label
publicmetadb.rate_limit.get_per_sec
publicmetadb.rate_limit.post_per_sec
Pair-level watchlist overrides are stored under:

CrossWatch stores the API key and marks the provider as connected.
A deeper health check validates the key against PublicMetaDB.
CrossWatch sends the key as a bearer token.
