FAQ

  • I run into an issue. How can I get help?

    • If the issue is related to the API itself, please create a post here, and we will help with the issue.
    • If the issue is specific to a client library, then you can create a new issue on the respective repository of the library.

  • API returned me some wrong data. What can I do?

  • I have a request to get a new streaming service supported by the API.

    • Send us a message by clicking on the "Contact" button on this page, and we will get back to you.

  • I need a client library in another language.

    • Send us a message by clicking on the "Contact" button on this page, and we will get back to you.

  • I need further details (e.g. posters, summaries, cast) about the shows. What can I do?

    • Streaming Availability API works very well with TMDB API, which can provide all the other info (that is not related to streaming availability) you need. You can pass the returned tmdbId field to the TMDB API's movie-details or tv-series-details endpoints and get the other details of the shows.

  • What is the difference between Streaming Availability API and TMDB API?

    • The Movie Database (TMDB) is a community built movie and TV database, similar to IMDb. Their free API provides access to their database which includes posters, summaries, cast, and many other details about the shows. TMDB API's own streaming availability information data does not include deep links or any of the other features of this API such as available subtitles, audios, video qualities etc. Thus Streaming Availability API and TMDB API work hand in hand to get you all the details of the shows.

  • What is RapidAPI?

    • RapidAPI is the world's largest API marketplace. We use RapidAPI to handle the API subscriptions for us. You can instantly subscribe to Streaming Availability on RapidAPI and start using the Streaming Availability API through RapidAPI right away.
