Hi people,

I've been working on this API for sometime now. Thought I'd share it here too.

This API allows you to query what's available on 20 streaming services (including Netflix, Prime, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu) across 60 countries. You can get the list of shows with filters such as release year, genre, IMDb rating etc. You can also get a show's global streaming availability via its IMDb or TMDb id. The output includes show's IMDb/TMDb ids/ratings, direct url to show's page in streaming apps, projected leave date from the service if there's one, and other details such as genres, directors, cast, runtime, overview, poster etc.

There's also a free plan that allows you to make 100 requests per day.

Hope you'll find it useful. And let me know if you have any comments or requested streaming services for me to add next.

You should add an order by: Rating, Year, etc.

It's already supported! Different plans have different order by fields supported but if you have Ultra or Mega plan you can order by the following fields:

original_title, year, imdb_vote_count, imdb_rating

I'm in Vietnam, the results are wrong.

I put the movie "Twilight" (the vampire cheesy movie) and the results show me that there is no option, while it is on Netflix.
