It should tell me which streaming service it's available on... for extra points I should be able to select my streaming services then have the app go to work for me.
- fjabre 10y agoHad some ideas in this direction but since this was a passion project being funded out of pocket I could not see those ideas through. Would still love to, hence posting to HN here. Thanks for the feedback.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoIs that data available - I imagine the streaming services are wary to provide hard data that can be used to quantitatively compare their catalogues?
- fjabre 10y agoIt's all over the web and there are free databases like TMDB around that provide good API access
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoWhere does TMDB show me which streaming services Mr.Robot, say, is currently available on? It gives the producing network, catalogue details, all that, but I can't find the details of its availability on Netflix/NowTV/Sky/AmazonPrimeInstant/etc.?
- fjabre 10y agoIt doesn't. You'd have to scrape a site that had that data or check to see if they have an API. I believe there are sites that do this but as it wasn't core functionality of the MVP anyway we didn't focus on it too much.
