MovieKit fields store structured film details, while taxonomies group movies by shared attributes such as genre and year.
Location: WordPress admin → MovieKit → Field Manager. Updated for: MovieKit 2.9.66. This is the complete list of field definitions shown by the current Field Manager: 12 taxonomies and 35 meta fields. The post type you select determines which of them are active in its editor.
The API choice column describes the per-field Data source menu, not a promise that a provider will return a value for every title. Both means Default, TMDB only, OMDB only and Skip are available; TMDb or OMDb means that provider and Skip are available; None means no per-field source menu appears. Enter credentials in MovieKit Settings, then configure assignments and destinations in Field Manager.
