## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## JustWatch Streaming Availability Scraper

Bulk-extracts streaming availability data from JustWatch's public GraphQL API. Returns one flat record per offer — which providers carry each title, in what video format (SD/HD/4K), at what price, with a direct deeplink URL.

Covers Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Hulu, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount+, and 200+ more streaming services across 80+ countries.

### What it does

Queries the `popularTitles` endpoint on JustWatch's public GraphQL API (`apis.justwatch.com/graphql`) for each country you specify. For every title it retrieves all current streaming offers, flattening the result into one record per offer (title × provider × format combination).

Each output record includes:
- Title metadata (name, type, release year, runtime, genres, IMDb/TMDB IDs and scores)
- Provider details (name, JustWatch package ID)
- Offer details (monetization type, format, retail price, currency, deeplink URL)
- Country queried

### Use cases

- **Streaming catalog analytics** — which providers carry which content, by country
- **Price tracking** — monitor rental/purchase prices across services over time
- **Affiliate deeplink monetization** — get direct watch-now URLs for any title on any provider
- **Availability-change monitoring** — detect when titles enter or leave a streaming service
- **Content licensing research** — identify gaps in streaming coverage by region

### Input

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|-------|------|-------------|---------|
| `country` | string | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. `US`, `GB`, `DE`, `AU`, `JP`, `BR`) | `US` |
| `providers` | string[] | Filter by JustWatch provider slug(s). Leave empty for all. `nfx`=Netflix, `prv`=Prime Video, `dnp`=Disney+, `hlu`=Hulu, `hbm`=Max, `atp`=Apple TV+, `pct`=Peacock, `pbk`=Paramount+ | `["nfx"]` |
| `monetizationTypes` | string[] | Filter by monetization type(s). Options: `FLATRATE`, `RENT`, `BUY`, `FREE`, `ADS`, `CINEMA`. Leave empty for all. | `[]` |
| `objectTypes` | string[] | Filter by content type. Options: `MOVIE`, `SHOW`. Leave empty for both. | `[]` |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max offer records to collect. `0` = unlimited. | `0` |

### Output

One record per streaming offer. A popular show may have 15–25 offers (different providers and quality tiers).

```json
{
  "title": "Succession",
  "object_type": "SHOW",
  "jw_entity_id": "ts78125",
  "imdb_id": "tt7660850",
  "tmdb_id": 76331,
  "original_release_year": 2018,
  "runtime_minutes": 60,
  "genres": "drm",
  "imdb_score": 8.9,
  "imdb_votes": 501234,
  "tmdb_popularity": 142.5,
  "country": "US",
  "provider_id": "cGF8MjQ=",
  "provider_name": "Max",

  "presentation_type": "HD",
  "price_amount": null,
  "price_currency": "USD",
  "deeplink_url": "https://play.max.com/show/..."
}
````

### Monetization types

| Type | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| `FLATRATE` | Included in subscription (no extra charge) |
| `RENT` | Digital rental — price shown in `price_amount` |
| `BUY` | Digital purchase — price shown in `price_amount` |
| `FREE` | Free to watch (with or without ads) |
| `ADS` | Free with ads |
| `CINEMA` | In theaters |

### Presentation types

| Type | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| `SD` | Standard definition |
| `HD` | High definition |
| `_4K` | Ultra HD / 4K |

### Notes

- **One record per offer**: a title with 3 providers × 2 formats = 6 records. This is intentional — each offer is independently actionable for affiliate links or price tracking.
- **No authentication required**: JustWatch's GraphQL API is fully public.
- **Rate limiting**: a 200ms courtesy delay is applied between page requests.
- **Unlimited mode**: set `maxItems: 0` to crawl the full catalog for a country. The US catalog has ~200,000 titles.
