netflix2

A client library to access the not-so-public Netflix Shakti API.

Installation

npm install netflix2

Usage

All functions take standard Node callbacks:

function callback (error, result) {}

Initialization

var Netflix = require('netflix2')
var netflix = new Netflix()

or

var netflix = require('netflix2')()

Login

First, login to your Netflix account manually and retrieve your session's cookie by entering document.cookie in your console.

Next, you must call login before using any of the other below functions. This will set API endpoints, and the authURL that must used to make API calls.

var credentials = {
  cookies: '[value from console]'
}
netflix.login(credentials, callback)

Browse

Browse movies: pass the genre (id), which page number (if more are available) and how many items per page to display along with the callback for the result.

/**
 * Browse movies, to simply get all films use Category ID 34399
 *
 * @param genreId The Netflix Category ID, Like https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/34399
 * @param page The content is paged, this is the page number.
 * @param perPage How many items do you want per page?
 * @param callback Function to be called when the request is finished.
 */
netflix.browse(genreId, page, perPage, function (error, result) {
  if(error){
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
  }
})

Get Profiles

netflix.getProfiles(function (error, profiles) {
  profiles === [
    {"firstName":"Lana", "guid":"BLRHT3T5WVF5TLL6VDX2Z2NA2E", ...},
    {"firstName":"Danielle", "guid":"CPPS2FVBJVBNJPRKNBYHEWC524", ...},
    ...
  ]
})

Switch Profile

Functions like getRatingHistory and getRatingHistory operate in the context of the current profile. Use switchProfile to change the current profile. Find the profile GUID using getProfiles above.

netflix.switchProfile(guid, callback)

Get Rating History

netflix.getRatingHistory(function (error, ratings) {
  ratings === [
    {"title":"Futurama","movieID":70153380,"yourRating":4.0, ...},
    {"title":"Super Troopers","movieID":60022689,"yourRating":4.0, ...},
    ...
  ]
})

Get Viewing History

netflix.getViewingHistory(function (error, result) {
  if(error){
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
  }
})

Hide Viewing History

Hide a single episode / a movie or an entire series from viewing activity

// Hide single episode / movie
netflix.hideSingleEpisodeFromViewingHistory(movieID, function (error, result){
  if(error){
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
  }
})

// Hide entire series
netflix.hideEntireSeriesFromViewingHistory(movieID, function (error, result){
  if(error){
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
  }
})

Hide complete Viewing History

Hide the complete viewing history. Note: this may not always reset the viewing history per series

/**
 * Hides ALL viewing history: this may not always reset the viewing history per series (**no UNDO!**)
 * use hideEntireSeriesFromViewingHistory passing the movieID to reset that series' history back
 * to the first episode
 */
 netflix.hideAllViewingHistory(function (error, result){
  if(error){
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
  }
})

Set Video Rating

On Netflix, users used to rate videos with stars. Then Netflix switched over to thumbs and now some users don't even know about the stars. You can set both types of ratings by using these two functions:

netflix.setStarRating(movieID, rating, callback)
netflix.setThumbRating(movieID, rating, callback)

Get Active Profile

netflix.getActiveProfile(function (error, result){
  if(error){
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
  }
})

Get Avatar URL

console.log(netflix.getAvatarUrl(avatarName, size));

Set Avatar Name

netflix.setAvatar(avatarName, callback);
