How It Works

Younify Connect makes it easy for you to connect with your customers’ streaming data.
The Younify Connect API gives your app access to your customers’ authenticated streaming accounts when they sign in to their favorite streaming services. Credential validation, multi-factor authentication, CAPTCHA, and error handling for each supported streaming service will all be handled by Younify Connect. SDKs for iOS, Android, and React Native are available.

Note:  The Younify SDK renders the provider sign-in (and profile selection) screen and the loading screen prior to returning control to the hosting application—with sme UI customization/branding available. All remaining screens are rendered by the hosting application (using data obtained from the Younify SDK). 

What could you do with your customer’s entire Netflix Watch History? What would that tell your AI about your customer? How much better would your recommendations be with your customer’s entire Netflix ratings history?
