<======== 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
