Request for data and images

Is there anyway to purchase a dump of data with images?
This would help me deploy my web app with a better starting point. Currently, I have been caching API/images to a mounted storage on my server. This has helped reduce redundant API requests and stopped the downloading of an image multiple times.
I've currently cached 33G in images and 1.5G in API requests.
Another issue is the number of images related to TV seasons and episodes. I was not expecting there to be so many, and feel bad downloading all of this from your free service.
I am starting to use tvmaze.org to fetch episode air times and network schedules. I was thinking of switching to their API for all TV related data to reduce my usage of your API end-points, but mostly reduce the bandwidth on image downloads.
Thanks, and your API is awesome.

Hi Mathew,
We don't have anything like that for sale but it's really no bother to keep doing what you're doing. We support over 10 million daily users, and whether or not you cache some data or call our service direct is no big deal to us either way.

😉 Not really a small project anymore is it? I wouldn't worry about something like this though, just have fun building your app.

I can only dream of reaching usage numbers like (and I fear reaching that). I really don't know how you do it. I've been working on my website for several years now and I'm not close to being finished.
Thanks again for the great API.
