TMDB missing JustWatch
posted by garrettrothsteinSTAFFMOD on March 13, 2024 at 7:51 PM
I've noticed some titles are missing streaming/watching availability on TMDB, but streaming availability for that title is available on JustWatch
Example: TMDB lists no availability for the US on its title page and in the API response - https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/387-spongebob-squarepants

On JustWatch for the US, there are plenty of avails - https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/spongebob-squarepants
What's the best way to report when this happens? Is JustWatch missing something or is TMDB?

Has anyone successfully reported incorrect information to JustWatch before? I hope we can establish a strong pipeline to JW so we can quickly report and resolve issues like this...
