API for streaming availability of movies and TV shows

Overview

The Watchmode API provides RESTful access to streaming availability data for movies and TV shows. Key endpoints include content search (by title, genre, or ID), streaming service lookup (to find where titles are available to stream, rent, or buy), and detailed metadata (genres, ratings, release dates). Responses are in JSON format. Use cases include building personalized streaming guides, integrating availability checks into media apps, and helping users locate titles across platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and more. It supports region and service type filtering.
