What you can build with the Watchmode API

Common products built on the Watchmode API:

• Where-to-watch and universal search apps: Search by title name, IMDb ID, or TMDB ID (Search, Autocomplete), then show every subscription, rental, purchase, free, and TV-provider option per country with web links and iOS/Android deep links (Title sources).
• Discovery and recommendation features: Build lists like "horror movies on Netflix in the US" or "most popular shows on Disney+ this week" by filtering on service, country, genre, network, language, release date, ratings, people, or awards, sorted by popularity or relevance (List titles).
• Title pages and catalog metadata: Plot, runtime, release date, genres, user and critic ratings, content ratings, poster and backdrop art, trailers, similar titles, networks, cast and crew, and awards in one request (Title details, Cast and crew, People).
• TV apps with episode-level availability: Seasons, episodes, and the services and links for each specific episode (Episodes).
• Connected-TV and mobile apps: Deep links for iOS, Android, Apple TV/tvOS, Android TV, and Roku so viewers land in the streaming app rather than a website. TV links are included on all paid plans.
• Release calendars and "leaving soon" features: Upcoming and recent streaming premieres with release times where known, and the dates titles leave each service (Release dates, Leaving dates).
• Live sports, events, and TV guides: Find games and award ceremonies by date, league, or team with where-to-watch links and app deep links in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, plus US channel listings for TV guide apps (Live events, TV listings).
• Awards databases: Oscars, Primetime Emmys, Golden Globes, BAFTA, SAG, DGA, WGA, and PGA wins and nominations by title, person, edition, and category (Awards).
• Catalog sync, analytics, and research: Daily feeds of new titles, new people, and changed sources, details, and episodes keep your database current (Changes). CSV ID maps link Watchmode IDs to IMDb and TMDB IDs (ID mapping).

Watchmode does not host or stream video. It returns availability, metadata, and links for services including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Peacock, and Paramount+.
