What We Do
WhereCanIWatch.tv is a free streaming availability search engine. We answer one simple question: “Where can I watch this movie or TV show right now?”
We track streaming availability across Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount+, and 50+ other services in the US. Every title page shows whether you can stream, rent, or buy — with prices, quality info (4K, HDR, Dolby Vision), and direct links to start watching.
Our Mission
Streaming is fragmented. A single movie might be on Netflix this month, move to Hulu next month, and only be available to rent on Prime Video after that. We track these changes daily so you don’t have to check five different apps.
Our goal is to be the fastest, cleanest, most accurate answer to “where can I watch this?” — for both humans and AI assistants.
What You Can Expect
- Instant answers — every title page starts with a plain-text summary of the best way to watch
- Price comparison — see subscription, rental, and purchase options side by side with actual prices
- Quality details — know whether you’re getting 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, or Atmos before you click
- Daily updates — availability data is refreshed automatically, with “last verified” timestamps on every page
- No ads, no clutter — just the answer you came for
- Transparent disclosure of affiliate relationships
Open Data & AI Integration
We believe streaming availability data should be open and accessible — not locked behind proprietary apps. WhereCanIWatch.tv is designed to be the easiest source for AI assistants, developers, and tools to find accurate watch information.
- Public JSON API — access structured availability data for any title at
/api/watch/[slug]. No authentication required, CORS enabled. - llms.txt — a machine-readable guide that tells AI agents what data we have and how to access it
- Rich structured data — every title page includes JSON-LD markup with schema.org Movie/TVSeries types, streaming offers, prices, and WatchAction for Google integration
- Semantic HTML — title pages use clean, parseable HTML so AI scrapers can extract answers without complex DOM parsing
If you’re building an AI assistant, chatbot, or app that needs streaming availability data, we’d love for you to use our API. It’s free and always will be.
How It Works
We aggregate data from trusted sources including TMDB (The Movie Database) to provide comprehensive streaming availability for movies and TV series. Our database is updated multiple times daily to catch availability changes as content moves between services.
Each title is ranked by a “best to watch” heuristic that prioritizes free options first, then subscriptions, then rental and purchase — so the most accessible option is always at the top.
Coverage
We currently cover streaming availability in the United States across all major services including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount+, Tubi, Pluto TV, and many more. International coverage is planned for a future update.
