Notes

• Discovery uses Metacritic's published sitemaps, so the full catalog is covered without pagination tricks.
• Titles without critic reviews will have metascore: null and critic_review_count: null.
• Titles with zero user ratings will have user_score: null and user_rating_count: null.
• Full catalog runs are large (40,000+ titles) and may take several hours at default concurrency.
