Use the Watchmode API to track streaming availability

I often lose track of movies and TV shows I want to watch, especially when they are announced months before release. To solve this, I use a free API from watchmode.com. I asked Hermes Agent—although ChatGPT Work could probably do the same—to create a scheduled task that checks the API once a week and notifies me when a title becomes available to stream. I also gave it a simple instruction: whenever I send an IMDb link for a movie, TV show, or specific season, it should automatically add it to my watchlist. Since I prefer to binge-watch, it only notifies me when an entire season is available. The next step is to make it automatically start tracking the following season once the current one has been fully released. Step-by-step: 1. I use the free API from watchmode.com to check streaming availability. 2. I asked Hermes Agent to create a scheduled task that checks the API once a week. 3. I configured the task to notify me when a movie or TV show becomes available to stream. 4. I instructed it to add a movie, TV show, or specific season to my watchlist whenever I send an IMDb link. 5. I configured notifications for TV shows to wait until the entire season is available. 6. My next step is to have it automatically start tracking the following season after the current one has been fully released.
