I use a VPN with Netflix so I can watch shows that are only in specific countries’ Netflix catalogues. I find myself searching up “which country Netflix has (enter title)” a lot. Usually, I’ve found articles. The issue with those is that it’s hard to tell if the info from there is outdated or not since Netflix catalogues change very often. I know there’s also tools like JustWatch that already basically do this (shows you every streaming service in the selected country where given show/movie is available), but with those you would need to manually cycle through all the different countries and check to see if Netflix is one of the streaming services listed. Also it’s a web tool so it doesn’t rank at the top of these search phrases due to a lack of SEO I’m assuming.
My idea was to either scrape JustWatch or use existing APIs to create a tool that shows you which countries a given show/title is available in. The tool would be one aspect of it, but I could also use templates and AI to dynamically generate and update new articles with the info about a show/movie with the exact date of update in the title to reassure searchers that it’s reliable information.
I wanted to know if this was worth putting some time into or if there’s already competitors that do exactly this. I also haven’t figured out monetization. The initial idea was having affiliate links to a VPN service but then again anyone who is really searching this most likely already has a VPN service that works well for Netflix.
Let me know what you guys think and if you have any other ideas that could make this stand out.
