The Movie Database Support

Does the API currently provide a search query for available streaming services for a title?

No.
TMDb is a movie database.
Titles, crew, cast, posters, backdrops, overview etc ...
TMDb is not a Stream Server or Stream Links provider.
So it is not possible for you to play, here.
And TMDb also does not have links to streaming, own or third parties.

When viewing a movie overview page on themoviedb.org, one sees a box in the lower left that says something like "Now streaming..." (on Netflix, Amazon, or whatever). This is what we would like via API.

This link, which you want, is the Link for Just Watch.
I believe it is not available in the API.
I know that Travis Bell is negotiating with Just Watch to have something more on TMDb.
I assume he wants to have the direct link here to Amazon, Netflix etc ...
But nothing has been settled yet.

Thanks for the super fast reply.

Hi @boofuss60,

We've pushed a new method called watch providers, which can be found at the following two paths:

I detailed some of the details on the Trello ticket here. It's important to note this is not going to return full deep links, but rather, it's just enough information to display what's available where. You can link to TMDb's /watch pages if you want to provide full deep links. We may do more with JustWatch on the API in the future, but for now this is what we've decided on.

Thank you!
