Yes. The Movie Database (TMDB) API is free for non-commercial use and requires a free API key. It covers hundreds of thousands of movies and TV shows with rich metadata and images.

How do I find where a movie is streaming using an API?

APIs like TMDB and Watchmode provide streaming availability data per country, listing which platforms (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime) currently offer a title. Query by movie ID to get a list of providers.
