## 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.

## JustWatch Scraper — Streaming Availability & Prices

**Find out where to watch any movie or TV show** — which streaming services have it, and the exact rent/buy prices — across **140+ countries**. Powered by JustWatch data. No API key, no login.

Perfect for building a "where to watch" feature, price-comparison tools, availability alerts, catalog monitoring, or streaming-market datasets.

### What you get

For every title:

- **Where to stream** — subscription (FLATRATE) providers that carry it (Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime, Hulu, …)
- **Rent & buy offers** — provider, price, currency, video quality (SD / HD / 4K), and a **direct deep link** to the offer
- **Free / ad-supported** availability (Pluto, Tubi, YouTube, …)
- **Metadata** — title, type (movie/show), release year, genres, runtime, age rating, short description, poster
- **Cross-IDs & scores** — IMDb ID, TMDB ID, IMDb score & votes, TMDB score
- **Convenience summary** — `streamingOn`, `freeOn`, `cheapestRent`, `cheapestBuy`
- **JustWatch URL** for the title

Availability and prices are **country-specific** — the same title returns different offers for `US`, `GB`, `DE`, `RO`, etc.

### Modes

- **search** — search by title (`query`) and get every offer. Optionally narrow by `providers`, `objectTypes`, `genres`, or `monetizationTypes`.
- **browse a service** — leave `query` empty and set `providers` (e.g. `["netflix"]`) to list a service's catalog in a country.
- **providers** — list all streaming services available in a country, with the **technical names** you plug into the `providers` filter.

### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "Dune",
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en"
}
````

Browse Netflix movies in Germany:

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "country": "DE",
  "providers": ["netflix"],
  "objectTypes": ["MOVIE"],
  "maxResults": 200
}
```

### Why this actor

- **Country-accurate** streaming + rent + buy offers with prices and deep links — not just a title list.
- **Keyless & reliable** — public JustWatch GraphQL, no key to manage, no anti-bot walls.
- **Structured, ready-to-use** output with a convenience availability summary and IMDb/TMDB cross-IDs for easy joining.

### Notes

- Monetization types: `FLATRATE` (subscription), `RENT`, `BUY`, `FREE`, `ADS`.
- Video quality (`quality`): `SD`, `HD`, `4K`.
- Prices are what the provider lists at fetch time and can change; always show the `url` so users reach the live offer.
- Data is sourced from JustWatch; this actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by JustWatch.
