Feature request - Netflix and lovefilm links

I think that as Netflix and Lovefilm are becoming the way to watch films and shows now it would be great if we could get a api call that shares this links from the movie database. It might even be good for all you users with application running of your data to be able to show this link also.
If this has already been requests sorry.
Dale. :D

Hey Dale,
At this time we don't have plans to support any other external IDs for movies than IMDB. Should we ever support more, I would imagine Netflix to be included.
Cheers.

Hi Travis, has there been an update to the api or a way to get the watch now button to go directly to the streaming service. it seems like it only works for netflix originals but if it's for example the matrix there is no netflix link to be found in the api. I do see on the tmdb app that the just watch section has a button that goes directly to the streaming service. how does that work? thanks.
