A Universal Watch Lists. I wonder how they are doing that?

A very interesting feature to be sure!

The fact that it also redirects to the streaming service app on the device is also very interesting.

So do they have some kind of deal with these streaming services to access their content apis? How would they get the lists for the content?

Are these lists readily available somewhere (legally)?

What Luke said. You can easily access this information through TheMovieDB’s API and they source the data from JustWatch.

"oh, Bo-urns"... Just Watch seems to be a paid API service.

As @samuelqwe noted, I reckon you can query TMDB API for pure info/availability purposes:

You can indeed, this is something I have used in an application I made, to filter content based on streaming service availability.

That sounds very cool.
