Great project!
Trying to find something good to watch on Netflix, my weekend project consisted out of extracting all movies on Netflix and sorting them by IMDB score. Here is the result:

You might want to include a "new releases" section. Sometimes they release good stuff that is not rated yet.

It's all in-house, available in 84 countries and supports thousands of streaming services. There is an API but it's mostly available to larger partners: https://www.justwatch.com/us/JustWatch-Streaming-API Source: I work at JustWatch.
I love JustWatch, it's the first place I go when I discuss any show with friends, family, kids, anyone. My kids now, before we buy an episode, say "Dad check on JustWatch if we can stream it for free anywhere" Do you have public examples of others that use your API? I have a few ideas that can be used but no time at all to build things :)
Letterboxd uses their API. I track my watchlist on Letterboxd and can filter movies available to stream in my subscriber services thanks to their use of the JustWatch API.

#54Hi 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 includ…
Can I somehow get the list of all shows available on Netflix in country X but not in country Y?

API doesn't offer that feature out of the box but I believe you can pull off that with a bit of extra coding on top.

#56I typed in Mad Men and it shows no streaming services for the United States but I know it's available on Prime Video at least.

Currently it only shows free (included with Prime) shows on Prime Video. I just checked it and Mad Men is only available for buying or via AMC+ channel subscription.

Account required?

This seems like the hard part. Does it need accounts with all the services, use a VPN to appear to be in each country, use a fake/rotating User Agent, etc
Depends on the service any of these might be needed.
What an uninteresting answer. People are interested in the technichal details, come on.
