<======== Extended Netflix Statistics ========>

A couple of day ago I saw these nice activity overview from Netflix. The first thing that came to my mind was to see on what day I saw the most movies/series. But it was not so easy with this overview. But after I opened the Chrome developer tools and saw the API calls, a whole new world of statistics have been opened for me.

I made a small C# program which fetches all available data from the API and exports it as a CSV-File and some smaller CSV-Files with evaluations, like daily and total watched time and so on and most watched Series.

<======== Usage ========>

You need your personal cookie from the official Netflix site. To get it follow these manual or open these URL (https://www.netflix.com/viewingactivity) with the open Developer Tools (F12 or Ctr+Shift+I) and look under Network->viewingactivity->Headers->Request Headers->Cookie:

Chrome Developer Tools with the selected cookie (big)

The cookie needs to be in a text document in the cookies folder.

<======== Result ========>

As a result you get three CSV files with different content. The CSV files can easily be viewed with Excel.

The generated Files

Netflix.csv	Contains all information the API will give us. With some Excel Filters, this can easily give more information
NetflixStats.csv	A short summary with the Total Play time and the top 10 personal watched series
NetflixTimes.csv	Summary for each Day with number of things watched and summed up time. You can easily use the Date and one of the other columns to make some graphs

Some Stats

Watched Time (big)

All Informations from the API (big)

<======== Future ========>

Maybe I extend the statics with more information or someone else has some good ideas on what static are fun and informative and want to tell it or make a the changes themself.

In this Github repo is all my code.

PS.:

If someone is more interested in the development and the code, I can make a article with some code snippets and specific descriptions. Feel free to ask.

Thank you for reading.

Hope this helps,

Daniel
