HBO’s heritage of quality original content combined with the deep Warner Bros. Discovery catalog makes HBO Max one of the most popular streaming services in America. But unlike Netflix, the content in HBO Max’s catalog isn’t permanent. It comes and goes as Warner Bros. Discovery licenses content to other streaming services. Keeping up with that kind of moving target requires resources that most developers don’t have. An HBO Max API would let apps and websites provide streaming-aware features.
Is there an HBO Max API?
Although HBO Max has APIs for internal development, it does not make APIs available to outside developers. That’s understandable. Launching HBO Max was not a trivial project. Reelgood is a company that offers a public HBO Max API to developers and tech companies who don't want to have to stitch it together in-house and maintain up-to-date data as titles and licensing change.
