Delay with JustWatch?
posted by tchendohSTAFFMOD on January 3, 2024 at 9:54 AM
Hi,
I'm testing my app with the new Disney/Marvel series Echo which is number 122226.
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/122226-echo
JustWatch has it playing on Disney and the series starts in a few days but when I fetch it from the TMDB api, it doesn't return any providers for any country.
https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/echo
{ "id": 122226, "results": {} }
Is there a delay of a few days before TMDB gets the data? Is that because the series is new or not out yet? Do users have to link something to JustWatch?
Thanks a lot!
Eric

Hi @tchendoh,
We'll usually get the offers from JustWatch's feed the day after it gets released but sometimes luck out and get the day of. So don't expect to see anything on TMDB until January 9 or 10th.
