The Movie Database Support

When requesting watch providers for Finland, the API returns no providers but looking on the website, movies and shows do have data for Finland.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/watch/providers/movie?watch_region=FI

I'm noticing the same issue for Guadaloupe.

I'm noticing the same issue for Guadaloupe.

All this data is provided by justwatch.com
Sometimes problems occur with daily imports.
I suggest you check if they are available on JustWach.

Furthermore, if I remember correctly, JustWach treated Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark as one group.
I don't remember which ISO country code was used.
This happened about 2 years ago. I don't know if they corrected it.

As for Guadaloupe, I don't know.
Can you tell me what the ISO country code is?

Finland is available on JustWatch and on TMDB's website, as far as I can tell, which is why I thought something went wrong somewhere. Both Finland and Guadeloupe (GP) are returned by the Available Regions endpoint.

In the case of Guadeloupe though, it isn't supported by JustWatch and the TMDB website shows it but it falls back to my original region when I pick it.

Ultimately, it's fine if they're not supported (although it seems like Finland is) as long as it's consistent throughout the API I guess.

Data is imported only once each day.

In the case of Finland, if there was an error in the import, perhaps it will be corrected tomorrow.

In the case of Guadaloupe, the same thing happens to me.
It could be a TMDb error. Added the location without it existing on Justwach.
Or it could be Justwatch's new location list.
They added the location and that was it. There is no data available yet.

@ticao2 Let's see if Finland gets corrected tomorrow then!

I'm not sure about Guadaloupe though. I know it was returned by TMDB about 3 months ago because I sourced flags for all available regions manually back then. It seems odd that JustWatch would add it and do nothing with it for 3 months but I suppose it's not impossible.

If I'm not mistaken, it has happened that JustWatch changed a country code and TMDb continued with the old one, not updating.
These problems only Travis Bell, the admin, has access to what is received via the JustWach API.
Therefore, only he can correct it.
Let's wait for him to come by.

@ticao2 Finland is back so I guess it must have been a temporary issue but Guadaloupe still has no providers returned. 🤔
