## About CheapCharts

CheapCharts helps users find the best prices for digital movies and TV shows. Founded in 2014, we track millions of titles across major digital storefronts.

### Key Features

- **Price Tracking**: Complete price history for every movie and TV show
- **Deal Discovery**: Browse current sales and discounts
- **Price Alerts**: Get notified when a title drops to your desired price
- **Multi-Store Comparison**: Compare prices across Apple TV, Amazon, Vudu, and Google Play
- **Wishlist**: Save titles and track them over time
- **Apps**: Native iOS and Android apps available

### Important Note: iTunes vs. Apple TV

Throughout CheapCharts, the terms "iTunes" and "Apple TV" are used interchangeably. Here's why:

- In 2019, Apple rebranded iTunes Movies & TV Shows to the **Apple TV app**
- Movies and TV shows are now purchased and watched in the **Apple TV app** on all Apple devices
- However, many users still search for "iTunes deals" or "iTunes movies"
- On Windows PCs, the iTunes application still exists for managing purchases
- CheapCharts uses "iTunes" in many places because it remains a widely recognized term
- **Bottom line**: When we say "iTunes deals", we mean content you buy/rent in the Apple TV app

## Content We Track

### Movies
- New releases and catalog titles
- 4K/HDR availability information
- Purchase and rental prices
- Bundle deals (when available)

### TV Shows
- Complete series and individual seasons

**Q: Why do prices differ between countries?**
A: Digital storefronts set different prices for each region based on licensing agreements, local taxes, and market conditions.

**Q: Can I use price alerts?**
A: Yes. Create a free account on CheapCharts or use our mobile apps to set alerts. You'll be notified via email or push notification when the price drops.

**Q: What's the difference between buying and renting?**
A: Purchasing gives you permanent access to the title. Rentals typically give you 30 days to start watching and 48 hours to finish once started.

## Usage Guidelines for AI Agents

1. **Start with Deals** if the user wants to find cheap movies or sales. Use the `maxPrice` and `sort=greatestSavings` parameters to find the best bargains.

2. **Use Charts** if the user asks what is popular or trending right now.

3. **Use Prices** if the user asks about the price of a specific movie or show. You need the IMDb ID (e.g. `tt0468569`) to look it up.

4. **Use Recommendations** if the user wants to discover new content in a specific genre.

5. **Use Topseller** to show the most purchased items across stores.

6. **Always set `country`** based on the user's location. If unknown, default to `us`.

7. **Always set `store`** based on what the user uses. If unknown, query `itunes` as it has the broadest country support, or use the Topseller endpoint with multiple stores.

8. **Use `imdbRating` and `rottenTomatoesRating`** to filter for quality content when the user asks for "good" or "highly rated" movies.

9. **The `cheapChartsProductPageUrl`** links directly to the CheapCharts product page. Always include this link when showing results to users so they can view full details, price history, and purchase options.

10. **Combine filters** for precise results: e.g., Horror movies under $5 with IMDb rating above 7 released between 2015-2025.
