      Can you distribute the scraping between many machines to make it less easy to detect? I think you could get help from users to do this. I'd be happy to volunteer to run a unogs client to scrape Israeli Netflix, and I'm sure many others would too.

        @Oren its a good idea and something I have been thinking about... the real issue is trust... by allowing other folks to run the tools they will basically have write access to the database meaning a bad actor could torpedo the entire endeavour

          I believe you are already scraping using "many machines," if you use virtual private servers already. The only benefit in that would be to distribute the scraping between many users - and not machines. The biggest downside with that would be sharing the code between the users. They could then start their competing services using your codebase.

            Yeah the challenge is that right now scraping 2 different countries at the same time with the same ID causes them to block that account for 2 days...

            As I'm in the UK it is difficult for me to get more than a couple of accounts outside the EU which we need to accurately pull data from inside Europe.

            I guess what we could do is open source the script and then have people submit the output for processing, just difficult to know the right approach...

              Couldn't you register more accounts using a VPN? Netflix only blocks watching content, not accessing their site. What I'm afraid is that open-sourcing the script would allow Netflix to inspect its internals and build stronger barriers.

                Does anybody know an alternative way of keeping up to date with Netflix? I'm Polish and checked this website a few times a week, but it seems I'm SOL now.

                        I appreciate that you are having issues and I hope you get them resolved soon. I do wonder though ... Canada is on the list of supported countries, and there are 6 new videos added this week under Canada, however there are NO expiring videos for Canada. While I am sure this is possible, it does seem very unlikely. Which makes me think something's gone amuck with the Canada database. Possibly others? Hopefully you can have a look and get it fixed quick. Thanks!

                          If you run across a title in Canada that should be expiring and we are not showing it, please let us know so we can hunt down why its not showing up.

                                        Just building on the earlier mention of Canada expiring not showing up, a search for expiring in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Japan, United States and United Kingdom comes up with 0 results. So there is certainly something missing.

                                        These are some films ending soon in Australia which aren't displaying in a search:

                                        Hope that helps.

                                          In case it's useful, the first and last of the films in the above post (Killer Cove and Smash) are also set to expire in Canada (though Canada still shows 0 expiring as mentioned earlier).
