Domain knowledge for Watchmode — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

Watchmode

Watchmode maps movies and TV shows to streaming, rental, purchase, free, and TV-app availability by country. The core workflow is resolve a title → read metadata → list sources for a region.

Data Model

  • Titles — movies and TV series (Watchmode numeric id, plus IMDB/TMDB external IDs).
  • Title sources — per-title availability on Netflix, Hulu, etc., with web links and offer type.
  • Seasons / episodes — TV structure; episodes can carry episode-level availability.
  • People — cast and crew with known_for title IDs.
  • Sources / regions / genres / networks — reference catalogs for filtering browse results.
  • Releases — platform release calendar between date bounds.
  • Change feeds — paid-tier delta endpoints for new titles, metadata, sources, episodes, and people.

Operational Order

  1. Resolve a title: search by name, or map imdb_id / tmdb_movie_id / tmdb_tv_id to a Watchmode title id.
  2. Fetch streaming links: title sources for the viewer's region (for example US).
  3. Optional depth: title details (metadata), seasons, episodes for TV.
  4. Browse without a known id: popular titles or filtered catalog (types, genre ids, source ids, region).
  5. Reference lookups: list regions and sources before filtering.

Gotchas

  • Title ID required for availability: Search or autocomplete first; catalog dumps do not include per-title streaming links.
  • Two "sources" concepts: The sources catalog lists platforms globally; title sources is where one title streams.
  • Search fields: /v1/search/ requires both search_field and search_value (name, imdb_id, tmdb_tv_id, …).
  • Releases dates: Accept YYYY-MM-DD; the API uses Django-style date parts internally.
  • Change feeds: Require a paid Watchmode API plan; free keys receive a structured unavailable response — not a broken integration.
  • Popular browse: Uses catalog sort popularity_desc — there is no separate popular endpoint on all plans.
