The Movie Database Support

You can get watch/streaming providers with https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/movies/get-movie-watch-providers from JustWatch- however, is it also possible to get the direct media URL from JustWatch with the API? I would like to link to that, for example to https://www.justwatch.com/ch/Film/The-Gray-Man

I believe that JustWatch did not authorize it to be done.
It is not possible to get the final URL of JustWatch or the Stream service using the TMDb API.

That's because Justwatch is paid by the Stream services for each generated access.
If you pause your mouse over the service link you will see a URL with a huge identification code.

Thanks, but I don't mean to link directly to Netflix/Amazon/etc, but instead I want to link to JustWatch itself, for example I want to link to https://www.justwatch.com/ch/Film/The-Gray-Man

In my opinion, JustWatch should be interested to receive any traffic to THEIR site, right?

This link exists in the WEB interface. It's in the movie overview.

Only Travis Bell can answer your question.

As documented here:

You can link to the provided TMDB URL to help support TMDB and provide the actual deep links to the content.

Please note: In order to use this data you must attribute the source of the data as JustWatch. If we find any usage not complying with these terms we will revoke access to the API.

You are to link to the TMDB watch page, and attribute JustWatch.

OK, but when I link to the TMDB watch page only (creating it myself) without checking or mentioning streaming providers, I don't need to attribute JustWatch, right?
