## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## JustWatch Scraper — Streaming Availability & Prices

**Find out where to watch any movie or TV show** — which streaming services have it, and the exact rent/buy prices — across **140+ countries**. Powered by JustWatch data. No API key, no login.

Perfect for building a "where to watch" feature, price-comparison tools, availability alerts, catalog monitoring, or streaming-market datasets.

### What you get

For every title:

- **Where to stream** — subscription (FLATRATE) providers that carry it (Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime, Hulu, …)
- **Rent & buy offers** — provider, price, currency, video quality (SD / HD / 4K), and a **direct deep link** to the offer
- **Free / ad-supported** availability (Pluto, Tubi, YouTube, …)
- **Metadata** — title, type (movie/show), release year, genres, runtime, age rating, short description, poster
- **Cross-IDs & scores** — IMDb ID, TMDB ID, IMDb score & votes, TMDB score
- **Convenience summary** — `streamingOn`, `freeOn`, `cheapestRent`, `cheapestBuy`
- **JustWatch URL** for the title

Availability and prices are **country-specific** — the same title returns different offers for `US`, `GB`, `DE`, `RO`, etc.

### Modes

- **search** — search by title (`query`) and get every offer. Optionally narrow by `providers`, `objectTypes`, `genres`, or `monetizationTypes`.
- **browse a service** — leave `query` empty and set `providers` (e.g. `["netflix"]`) to list a service's catalog in a country.
- **providers** — list all streaming services available in a country, with the **technical names** you plug into the `providers` filter.

### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "Dune",
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en"
}
```

Browse Netflix movies in Germany:

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "country": "DE",
  "providers": ["netflix"],
  "objectTypes": ["MOVIE"],
  "maxResults": 200
}
