It is not possible to obtain several of these categories using the API.

1. What's Popular - Streaming = NO
2. What's Popular - On TV = Similar.
3. What's Popular - For Rent = NO
4. What's Popular - In Theaters = Similar.
5. Free To Watch - Movies = NO
6. Free To Watch - TV = NO

In the future, perhaps, depending on the conversations, it will be possible via API to receive results with Streaming.

Dear @ticao2 :

I really appreciate that you responded back to me regarding this and helped me get the respective links for what can be done with the API. I would like to know then if this was possible to get those requests with using the api requests in combination with something else?

Because I know TMDB uses JustWatch to figure out for example which content is being streamed, i was wondering if you had an ideas to do this.

Regards.

Travis Bell has already clarified this issue for some users.
TMDb is not yet authorized to use JustWatch data in the API.
If I remember correctly, he said that there are talks but so far nothing has been resolved.
So, we have to wait. :-)

Hi, is there still no way to obtain the categories marked with a NO above?

Exactly.
Nothing changed.
It is not yet possible to get data from JustWatch using the TMDb API.

See below for the correct answer.

Sure they are, here's some basics to get you started:

• Popular streaming (movies): /3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_watch_monetization_types=flatrate&watch_region=US
• Popular streaming (TV): /3/discover/tv?api_key=###&with_watch_monetization_types=flatrate&watch_region=US
• Popular in theatres (movies): /3/discover/movie?api_key=###region=US&with_release_type=3&release_date.gte=###&release_date.lte=###
• Popular on TV (TV): /3/discover/tv?api_key=###&timezone=America/Edmonton&air_date.gte=###&air_date.lte=###
• Popular for rent (movies): /3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_watch_monetization_types=rent&watch_region=US
• Free To Watch (movies): /3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_watch_monetization_types=ads|free&watch_region=US
• Free To Watch (TV): /3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_watch_monetization_types=ads|free&watch_region=US

(I've edited my post to use the correct filters, that was a typo, my bad)

Woah! This discover endpoint is quite powerful. Thanks for sharing this info.

By the way, which of the filters in the first 5 is used to make sure only popular movie or TV titles are fetched? For example:

• Popular streaming (movies): /3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_watch_monetization_types=flatrate&watch_region=US

There is not even a sorting applied to make sure only popular titles come out.

Hey @shahood,

All discover calls default to sorting by popularity so unless you want to sort them some other way, you don’t need to specify a sort option.

I don't see any mention of with_ott_monetization_types in the docs. Do with_ott_monetization_types and with_watch_monetization_types serve the same purpose?

Ah yes, that’s a typo on my part. with_watch_monetization_types is the correct filter.

Umm, u mean with_watch_monetization_types is the correct filter....right? Because, with_ott_monetization_types is not mentioned in the docs.

I really do. Typo x 2. Serves me right for trying to do this on my phone.
