Who’s the data provider for [a program](https://www.roku.com/whats-on/movies/tiger-cage?id=0925162b05a954dda21213b6abbf48db)’s “Ways to Watch”? Thanks.

That data is aggregated from the search feeds that the various channels send to Roku to surface their content in search and recommendations. See [Roku Search feed (JSON)](https://developer.roku.com/dev/docs/search-feed) for more details.

@RokuBen For _[Tiger Cage](https://www.roku.com/whats-on/movies/tiger-cage?id=0925162b05a954dda21213b6abbf48db)_, are Tubi, Fandango and Apple TV the “various channels” that you’re referring to?

yes, those are the partners that provide program data in a search feed. Since this is a developer forum, I assumed you were asking how you could supply data for your own Roku application.

Internally, we make a best effort to match data to a commercial data source, as different providers may have slightly different metadata. For example, I just directly searched on Tubi and found [Watch Tiger Cage III (1991) - Free Movies | Tubi](https://tubitv.com/movies/100006347/tiger-cage-iii) but not the original Tiger Cage, so this might be a mismatch.
