Querying all episodes for a specific provider for a specific country

Hi, I'm trying to find all titles for a specific provider for a specific country.
Lets use Netflix and Indonesia as the example for now.
I'm also using the python wrapper: tmdbv3api.
To find the lists of movies, its easy and I use
netflix_movies_in_indonesia = discover.discover_movies({'with_watch_providers':"8", 'watch_region':"ID"})
and loop through all the pages to retrieve all the movie ids and metadata.
For tv shows I use:
netflix_tvshows_in_indonesia = discover.discover_tv_shows({'with_watch_providers':"8", 'watch_region':"ID"})
However, this only tells me what tv shows are available on Netflix in Indonesia,
I want to find out exactly what episodes for each TV show are available on Netflix in Indonesia.
Is there a way to do this?

Hi @charlie.tran,
There's a few problems preventing you from getting episode level data here. First, we don't import JustWatch's availability data at the episode level, so we don't actually have that data. Second is the general lack of episode discovery on the API. Our discover API is limited to TV shows and movies only.
