Netflix Activity Extractor

Extract your viewing activity data from Netflix.

Steps

Before you start, don't forget to install dependencies with npm install

1. Go to https://www.netflix.com/WiViewingActivity
2. Make sure you're logged in and can see some activity
3. Open your browser developer tools and open the network monitoring
4. Scroll the Netflix page to the bottom, requesting more data
5. Inspect the network request, you'll be grabbing 3 pieces of data:
   • Build number: api/shakti/<build_number>/viewingactivity
   • Secure Netflix Id cookie: SecureNetflixId in the Cookie header
   • Netflix Id cookie: NetflixId in the Cookie header
6. Create a .env file with those three values, under the variable names BUILD_ID, SECURE_NETFLIX_ID and NETFLIX_ID respectively
7. Time to get some data - use npm start to kick off the script
8. If it's all working, you'll get an output directory created with the raw responses and the viewing activity sliced by day.
