Disclaimer
This is not the official JustWatch API. JustWatch doesn't offer an open API and doesn't plan to do this in the future.
The work of many developers went and is still going into the development and maintenance of the data and the API. JustWatch's main business is to operate a streaming guide with apps for iOS and Android. They offer the data for business intelligence and marketing. Therefore it is prohibited to use the API for commercial use (consumer service, data science, business intelligence, etc.). It is ok to use the API for private projects, but please be respectful with your API calls to not put too much load on the API. The API is not supported in any way and will change frequently without warning.
If you would like to work with JustWatch and use the data/API please get in contact with them via info@justwatch.com. Currently, JustWatch can only work with bigger partners and clients. JustWatch is also hiring: https://www.justwatch.com/us/talent and has some interesting open source projects:
How To
search for an item
from justwatch import JustWatch
just_watch = JustWatch(country='US')
results = just_watch.search_for_item(query='the matrix')
or search for combination of genres
just_watch = JustWatch(genres=['act', 'scf', 'hrr'])
results_by_genres = just_watch.search_for_item()
or maybe search by provider
just_watch = JustWatch()
results_by_providers = just_watch.search_for_item(providers=['nfx', 'stn'])
or possibly a combination of the above
just_watch = JustWatch()
results_by_multiple = just_watch.search_for_item(
providers=['nfx', 'stn'],
content_types=['movie'],
monetization_types=['free'])
search for a person
just_watch = JustWatch()
results = just_watch.search_for_item(query="Keanu Reeves",
content_types=['person'])
search for items of a person
just_watch = JustWatch()
titles_person = just_watch.search_for_item(person_id=3036)
get list of genres and codes
just_watch = JustWatch(country='GB')
genre_details = just_watch.get_genres()
get list of providers for a country
just_watch = JustWatch(country='DE')
provider_details = just_watch.get_providers()
get further details on a movie or tv program
Based on title id found in previous search
just_watch = JustWatch(country='GB')
megamind = just_watch.get_title(title_id=103561)
dark = just_watch.get_title(title_id=55668, content_type='show')
You can query for title IDs
just_watch = JustWatch(country='GB')
the_matrix = just_watch.get_title_id(query='the matrix')
{'The Matrix': 10, 'The Matrix Revisited': 30701, ...}
get further defails on a specific season of a tv program
season_id
can be found in the response from get_title of a tv program
just_watch = JustWatch(country='GB')
hannibal_season2 = just_watch.get_season(season_id=20236)
get country specific certification details
just_watch = JustWatch(country='GB')
certs = just_watch.get_certifications()
content_type can be specified but (for GB at least) setting to 'show' gives less detail than the default of 'movie'
get cinema details
Setting "monetization_types" to "cinema"
and possibly setting nationwide_cinema_releases_only = True
will return a list of potential showings.
just_watch = JustWatch(country='GB')
cinema_showings = just_watch.search_for_item(monetization_types='cinema')
Then based on title_id obtained from that search
cinema_times = just_watch.get_cinema_times(title_id=this_title_id,
date='2018-03-24',
latitude=51.5287718,
longitude=-0.2416809,
radius=20000)
This will return details of all the showings in the area. Details of all the cinemas in the area can be obtained by a call to get_cinema_details()
. This takes the same latitutde, longitude and radius parameters as get_cinema_times()
, and if a call has already been made they'll be reused.
local_cinemas = just_watch.get_cinema_details()
You can then join the data from the two calls by joining 'cinema_id'
from get_cinema_times()
with 'id'
from get_cinema_details()
get upcoming cinema details
Call get_upcoming_cinema()
with number of weeks forward or back and whether you only require national releases
showings_last_week = just_watch.get_upcoming_cinema(weeks_offset=-1, nationwide_cinema_releases_only=True)
showings_three_weeks = just_watch.get_upcoming_cinema(weeks_offset=3, nationwide_cinema_releases_only=False)
get person details
just_watch = JustWatch()
person_detail = just_watch.get_person_detail(3036)
Notes:
- Default country is AU
person_id
is a justwatch specific id and does not work with imdb or tmdb ids. You can get theperson_id
for example from the credits of a title or from search.
