## Pricing

from $0.001 / title scraped

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## JustWatch Scraper — Where to Stream Movies & TV

Find out **where to watch any movie or TV show** with the **JustWatch Scraper**. Search a title and get its **streaming, free, rent and buy availability** across services — **Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, Max, Hulu and many more** — for any country, plus title, year, genres and description. One clean row per title as **JSON, CSV or Excel**.

Built for **streaming-guide sites, recommendation apps, media research and content dashboards**, it turns a list of titles into a structured "where to watch" dataset.

### What it does

- 📺 **Where to watch** — the services offering each title, split into **stream** (subscription), **free**, **rent** and **buy**.
- 🌍 **By country** — availability differs by region; choose any country code.
- 🎬 **Movies & TV** — works for both films and shows.
- 🏷️ **Title detail** — year, type, genres and a short description.
- 🔗 **Direct links** — the JustWatch page and per-offer links.
- 📤 **Export anywhere** — JSON, CSV or Excel, or straight into an app, sheet or dashboard.

### Example output

```json
{
  "title": "The Matrix",
  "year": 1999,
  "type": "Movie",
  "genres": ["act", "scf"],
  "streamOn": ["Max", "YouTube TV"],
  "rentOn": ["Amazon Video", "Apple TV Store"],
  "buyOn": ["Amazon Video", "Apple TV Store"],
  "url": "https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-matrix"
}
```

### How to use it

1. Add one or more **titles** to search.
2. Set the **country** (and optionally the **language**).
3. Set **Max titles** and run. Download the results as **JSON, CSV or Excel**.

### Input fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| **Movie / TV titles** | Titles to search; each returns matching titles with availability. |
| **Country** | Two-letter country code (US, GB, CA, AU, DE, IN…). |
| **Language** | Two-letter language code (en, de, fr…). |
| **Max titles** | Maximum titles to collect (0 = no limit). |

### Output fields

`title`, `year`, `type`, `genres`, `description`, `streamOn`, `freeOn`, `rentOn`, `buyOn`, `offers`, `url`.

### Popular use cases

- **Streaming guides** — build a "where to watch" section for titles.
- **Recommendation apps** — show users which services carry a title.
- **Media research** — analyse catalog coverage across services and countries.
- **Dashboards** — track availability changes over time.
- **Content planning** — see which platforms hold which titles by region.

### FAQ

**Do I need an account or key?**
No. Add titles and a country and run.

**Which services and countries are covered?**
A very broad set of streaming, rental and purchase services across most countries — availability is returned per the country you choose.

Yes — results include both films and shows with their type labelled.

**Can I export to Excel or Google Sheets?**
Yes — results download as JSON, CSV or Excel and integrate with Sheets, apps and dashboards.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "the matrix"

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "searchQueries": ["the matrix"],
    "country": "US",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("hipersoft/justwatch-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQueries": [
    "the matrix"
  ],
  "country": "US"
}' |
apify call hipersoft/justwatch-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,hipersoft/justwatch-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
