How to add a streaming service to an IMDb page?

I was wondering how I could add a streaming and buying platform to an IMDb title for where to watch some titles?

For example you can watch heartland on BYUtv.org, but it's not listed as a place to watch on the Heartland IMDb page.

Heartland IMDb page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1094229/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_heartland

Heartland on BYUtv.org: https://www.byutv.org/heartland

Well, to the best of my understanding, it would up to BYUtv's API workers to coordinate with IMDb's API workers, in order to get this special kind of interlinking accomplished (across the application programming interfaces). I don't know any of the details of how this process works (as it isn't commenced on the forum itself), so please standby for an official response from an IMDb customer service representative. I do know that a lot of Amazon Web Services (AWS) stuff relies upon representational state transfer (REST).

Hi stream456-

Unfortunately, if the title is not available for streaming on one of our partner sites (such as Amazon.com), you will not be able to add the details to the "Watch Now" section. 

For more detailed information, you are welcome to review the following Help Guide

However, you can add the link to where the title is streaming under the "External Sites" section. You can find more information about adding external site links to title pages on our Help Guide.

Cheers!
