// YOUNIFY CONNECT SDK · OVERVIEW

Streaming User Data API — 13+ Services

One watchlist API. Every major streaming service.

Every streaming app faces the same frustrating reality: new users arrive and your app knows nothing about them. So you make them work for it — swiping through rows of titles, rating shows they half-remember watching, filling out taste questionnaires. It takes anywhere from minutes to months before your app has enough signal to be genuinely useful. That's the cold start problem. And even after all that effort, you still don't really know your user until they've built up months of in-app history from scratch.

Younify Connect solves it instantly. Your users sign in to their existing Netflix, Hulu, Max, and other streaming accounts once — and your app immediately receives their full watch history, watchlists, ratings, and continue watching queues. Real data, normalized across all 13+ services, available via a single streaming user data API.

What You Can Build with a Watchlist API

Real streaming user data — infinite possibilities

Cross-Service Watchlist Dashboard

Pull merged watchlists and continue watching queues from every connected service into a single unified view. No more asking users to re-enter what they've already watched.

Recommendations Without the Guesswork

Offer better recommendations and eliminate guesswork. Use actual recommendations from providers — already personalized for each user — to surface content that's relevant from the very first session.

Social Matching Without Onboarding

Match users based on overlapping watch history and taste profiles — no survey, no onboarding questions. The streaming user data does the work before your UI renders.

Train AI Models on Real Viewing Data

Feed your LLM or recommendation engine with thousands of normalized viewing events per user — titles, ratings, genres, and timestamps — sourced directly via the streaming personalization SDK.

How the watch history SDK works

Every streaming service handles authentication differently — MFA flows, CAPTCHA, session tokens, credential validation. Younify Connect abstracts all of it. You drop in the SDK, we handle every service. Your app gets clean, normalized data.

01 / SELECT

User Selects Services

Your user chooses which streaming accounts to connect — Netflix, Hulu, Max, and more — directly inside your app's UI.

02 / AUTH

SDK Handles Auth

The streaming SDK authenticates each service automatically, including MFA, CAPTCHA, and session management. Zero custom code on your end.

03 / RETRIEVE

Watch History Retrieved

Younify fetches watchlists, watch histories, ratings, and recommendations — normalized to a consistent schema across all 13+ services.

04 / ACCESS

Access Clean, Normalized Data

Your app receives structured streaming user data — titles, content IDs, TMDB references, ratings, and timestamps — ready to query immediately.

05 / DISPLAY

Build Your UI

The watchlist API returns data. What you build with it — dashboards, feeds, recommendations, social features — is entirely up to you.

06 / BUILD

Solve Cold Start Permanently

With real watch history in hand from session one, your streaming personalization SDK can deliver meaningful recommendations before a single in-app event is logged.
