List of watch provider options to view
posted by joel_wantedtvSTAFFMOD on September 20, 2021 at 9:02 AM
Hello,
I've been using the append_to_response=watch/providers which works great.
The information includes the types of viewing e.g. buy, flatrate, rent and free. It took me actually some time before noticing the free option.
Is there a way for me to programatically know all the different viewing options? This would allow a more robust implementation of the API on the user end and prepare for the addition or removal of options.
Many thanks, Joel

Hi @joel_wantedtv,
I think that's all of them:

Many thanks @travisbell ; do you think it may be worth having an endpoint which would return that list for when it evolves? The same way there is a
/watch/providers/regions, there could be a/watch/providers/watchOptions. I'm just worried that if it changes, there is currently no way to be notified and adapt accordingly.
