What an OTT scraping API actually does

Instead of manually checking title pages across dozens of streaming platforms, you send a request — a title URL, a search term, a genre page, or a full catalog — and get back clean, structured data: title metadata, availability by region, cast and crew, ratings, and pricing tier. The rendering, proxy rotation, region simulation and parsing happen behind the API; you just call an endpoint and receive data.

Built for teams that track content for a living

  • Studios & distributors — monitoring where and how their titles are listed across platforms.
  • Aggregators & guides — powering "where to watch" search across services.
  • Ad-tech & media buyers — mapping content inventory for placement and targeting.
  • Licensing teams — tracking regional availability windows and rights changes.
  • Research & analyst teams — modeling catalog depth and churn across markets.
Core capabilities

Everything you need from a streaming catalog

Title & catalog extraction

Pull a single title's full detail set — synopsis, cast, runtime, genre, artwork — from a direct URL.

Genre & search crawling

Feed in a genre page or search term and receive every listed title, paginated automatically.

Regional availability mapping

Track which titles are live, leaving soon, or geo-restricted across markets and regions.

Ratings & review extraction

Collect star ratings, review text, and critic scores for sentiment and reception analysis.

Bulk & scheduled jobs

Submit thousands of title URLs at once, or set a recurring interval so your catalog refreshes on its own.

Historical catalog tracking

Snapshot availability and pricing over time to build trend lines, not just point-in-time reads.

The full data-field set

Structured fields, mapped consistently

Field availability varies slightly by platform. Anything outside this standard set — episode-level metadata, award tags, parental-guidance detail — can be added as a custom field.

Category Fields
Title identity Title name, title URL, content ID, type (movie/series/episode), original language, release year
Availability & licensing Region availability, leaving date, subscription tier required, download availability, rights window
Descriptive content Synopsis, genre, subgenre, content rating, runtime, season/episode count
Media Poster URL, backdrop image, trailer link, logo asset
Cast & crew Cast names, character names, director, producer, studio/production house
Ratings & reviews Average rating, total review count, critic score, review text, review date
Pricing Plan name, plan price, currency, ad-supported flag, bundle inclusion
Merchandising signals Trending badge, "new" flag, rank in category, related/recommended titles

How it works

From platform page to structured record

01

Submit a request

A title URL, search term, genre page, or full catalog — via API call or bulk upload.

02

We fetch the page

Rotating residential IPs, headless rendering and region simulation run behind the scenes.

03

Raw HTML is parsed

Content is mapped into the structured field set relevant to that platform's layout.

04

Data is validated and normalized

Genres, ratings, and availability windows are standardized across sources.

05

Output is delivered

As JSON or CSV, or pushed to your webhook, cloud storage, or database.

Direct database load Data landing straight into PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Snowflake
What teams build with it
Licensing

Rights & window tracking

Monitor when titles enter or leave a region so licensing decisions stay ahead of expiry.

Discovery

Where-to-watch search

Power a cross-platform search that tells viewers exactly which service carries a title.

Benchmarking

Catalog benchmarking

Compare catalog depth, freshness and genre mix against competing platforms.

Ad-tech

Inventory mapping

Map ad-supported tiers and content categories for placement and targeting.

Audience

Sentiment analysis

Mine review text at scale to surface what audiences praise or complain about.

Strategy

Market-entry research

Understand pricing tiers, catalog density and platform share before entering a market.

Plans that scale with your coverage

Exact pricing depends on platforms, cities, and refresh frequency — these tiers describe how engagements are typically structured.

FAQ

Do I need coding experience to use this API?

Basic API integration knowledge helps, but our team can also deliver data as ready-made CSV or Excel files if you'd rather skip direct API calls.

Can you scrape a streaming platform that isn't on your list?

In most cases, yes. New platform integrations are scoped case by case depending on site complexity.

Is historical availability data available, or only current listings?

Both. You can request point-in-time snapshots going forward, and in many cases we can build a historical availability feed once tracking begins.

What happens if a platform changes its page layout?

Our monitoring flags layout changes and our team updates the extraction logic — typically without any action needed on your end.

Are there rate limits on the API?

Yes, limits scale with your plan tier. Enterprise plans can be configured for sustained high-volume throughput.
