Reminds me of https://www.justwatch.com/ https://www.justwatch.com/ which is a non-API version. Did they roll their own? Do they use your service?

- dewey 5y agoIt'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 https://www.justwatch.com/us/JustWatch-Streaming-API Source: I work at JustWatch.
- atonse 5y agoI 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 :)
- dewey 5y agoOne public example would be TMDb (The metadata source that also OPs project is using): https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/568124-encanto/watch https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/568124-encanto/watch
- elondaits 5y agoLetterboxd 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.
- timmg 5y agoNot sure it matters much, but I had been using justwatch often. It stopped working for me a while back: search just wouldn't do anything. I just cleared all my cookies and now it works again. Not sure how big the problem is, but at least for me, your website seemed to be choking on its own cookies.
- e40 5y agoWhat a great website. I use it all the time. Thank you!
- sborra 5y agoJustWatch is great. There's a trend in my country (Italy) where old movies are being remastered in HD but not published on Blu-ray. Instead, they're only made available on one out of a half dozen or so streaming services. JustWatch helps me immensely to spot new releases like that!
- dzhiurgis 5y agoCan I use it to find foreign films? Right now my best option is yts torrent tracker[0] but there's a ton of hindi films which I don't really like. Would be cool to find all non-english films from europe and america. 0: https://yts.mx/browse-movies/0/all/all/8/latest/0/foreign https://yts.mx/browse-movies/0/all/all/8/latest/0/foreign
- wodenokoto 5y agoYou need a way to change language on your webpage. Many, if not most visitors from UAE cannot read Arabic, and most AE websites will in my experience default to English. But justwatch has seemingly no way to change from Arabic when visiting from UAE. If I go to justwaych.com/us, it changes to English, but now I suppose I am browsing US availability. Again, this isn't written anywhere, so I don't know if what I'm browsing or searching is available.
- dewey 5y agoYou can change language and country independently from each other. Just click on the Account settings in the top left/right corner (depending on locale) and change it there.
- account42 5y agoWhen not signed in, the button just says "Sign In", which is not something anyone would look for a language change option - doubly so if the "Sign In" in is in a foreign language. There is plenty of space to add a globe icon or something like it directly on the page there.
