Small typo in the list of countries: “United Emirates” -> “United Arab Emirates”.

#12Cool! Do you login with one account bouncing off 60 IP addresses?

#13Great website! One thing that is missing: Availability is not the only criteria people use. One example: Last month I wanted to watch Superhero Movie, but I was in Spain, where a lot of movies are dubbed. I found out it was available on Amazon Prime (via another similar website to the one in the submission) but when I tried to watch it, it was only available in Spanish voice with English/Spanish subtitles, so obviously wouldn't work. Instead I had to result to using the holy pirate cove again to be able to watch what I want.
So if also audio/subtitles language could be added to this service, it would make it 100% better and more useful for solving the problem it's trying to address!

#14I would kill for language options on this. Having been studying Arabic while living in Northern Europe, none of the streaming services have Arabic dubbed shows. The only thing I’ve found is the expanse, which itself is in a different dialect than what I’m studying. Being able to easily search by language availability and subtitle availability would be wonderful.

#15Do you support searching which country a movie is available to stream in?
For example the movie It is available in Netflix Austria (but not many other Netflix regions), but to find that, I searched It, then randomly picked countries from the dropdown list. It looks like the API has country as a required field as well, so to do this programmatically it would be similar.

#16Very nice. Maybe you could build a recommendation engine on top, Netflix seems to have a knack for recommending things I've already seen. Relies in me telling you which films I like of course, or an existing similar dataset.

Thank you! There's already a recommendation engine I've made actually, it's the home page of the link I put: https://www.movieofthenight.com/

#18I'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. https://www.movieofthenight.com/movie/Twilight/1912 https://www.netflix.com/search?q=twilight&jbv=70099113
Also 'Succession' is available in Germany on Apple TV+, the search says otherwise (not available at all in Germany).

It's available on the API, you can use /get/ultra endpoint to see in which countries a show is available. Planning to add that feature to the web app as well.

Hey, just checked, in Germany it's available to buy on Apple TV but not it's not part of Apple TV+. Currently the API only supports Apple TV+.
