Episodes

The Episodes endpoint provides data on every episode of Rick and Morty — across all seasons. Each episode includes its air date, episode code, and a list of every character that appears in it.

Data model

Each episode object contains the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
`id`	integer	Unique identifier
`name`	string	Episode title
`air_date`	string	Original air date (e.g., `December 2, 2013`)
`episode`	string	Episode code in `SxxExx` format (e.g., `S01E01`)
`characters`	array	List of character URLs that appear in this episode
`url`	string	URL to the episode's own endpoint
`created`	string	ISO 8601 timestamp when the record was created

Episode codes

Episodes follow the standard SxxExx format:

S01E01 — Season 1, Episode 1 ("Pilot")
S03E07 — Season 3, Episode 7 ("The Ricklantis Mixup")
S05E10 — Season 5, Episode 10 ("Rickmurai Jack")

This makes it easy to filter by season or find specific episodes programmatically.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/episodes?name=pickle"

The episode filter supports partial matching — use s01 to get all of Season 1, or e01 to get the first episode of every season.

Working with character lists

Each episode includes a characters array with URLs to every character that appears in it. This is useful for building episode guides or character appearance trackers:


Code
 
{
  "id": 28,
  "name": "The Ricklantis Mixup",
  "episode": "S03E07",
  "characters": [
    "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/characters/1",
    "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/characters/2",
    "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/characters/4",
    "..."
  ]
}
