# WhereCanIWatch — Streaming Availability Lookup

Answer "Where can I watch X?" using the WhereCanIWatch.tv public API.

## Workflow

### 1. Search for the title

```
GET https://www.wherecaniwatch.tv/api/search?q={title}
```

Returns array of matches. Pick the best match by title + year.

### 2. Get availability

```
GET https://www.wherecaniwatch.tv/api/watch/{slug}.json
```

Response:
```json
{
  "title": "Interstellar",
  "year": 2014,
  "type": "movie",
  "rating": 8.7,
  "genres": ["Science Fiction", "Drama"],
  "bestDeal": {
    "service": "Netflix",
    "method": "subscription",
    "price": null,
    "url": "https://www.netflix.com/title/..."
  },
  "availability": [
    { "service": "Netflix", "method": "subscription", "price": null, "quality": ["4K"], "url": "..." },
