Streaming content recommender API

Create an API that suggests lesser-known content across streaming platforms. Target media companies and app developers.

Why now

With streaming fragmentation, users need help discovering content beyond platform walls.

Who for
Streaming platforms
Business model
API licensing
Effort
A few months

Viewers waste time scrolling multiple streaming services without finding engaging content.

Develop an API that analyzes viewing history across platforms to suggest hidden gems and cross-platform recommendations.

Licensing deals with streaming aggregators or white-label solutions for TV manufacturers could monetize it.

Start by building metadata for 2-3 major platforms with basic recommendation logic.

Risk: Requires ongoing licensing negotiations with content providers.
