    I don't know if Flixwatch has issues or if the developper is just a bit sloppy. If you look what he says on reddit, you'll see that the guy hasn't much ambition for that website, it's just a portfolio to get a job in SEO.

      re Flixwatch, if they are actually updating 70 countries, I'm impressed...
      but its hard to tell because the website is a bit of ad-laden dumpster fire IMHO

        That actually sounds plausible!

            By the way, what are the repercussions for scraping? Do they just flat out permaban your account or is it a temporary ban or what? I might start scraping Czech Republic myself and give you the data, but it all depends...

              re: ban... they shut down the account for 48 hours, basically you just get 403's after you login

                Expiring data for Australia looks to have updated in the last 8 hours and all looks correct. Also Brazil has a lot of titles listed now so that may be up to date.

                Canada, Hong Kong, India, Japan, United States and United Kingdom expiring data is still missing, hopefully that just needs more time to cycle through for people in those countries.

                Thanks!

                  Are you getting 403 error on login page load? This is not account issue. Change IP and try again.

                      Can you scrape without account? For example, in Germany, you can still see https://www.netflix.com/de-en/title/81071573 while logged off.

                          Anyway it's easy to create another trial account (use Virtual CC).

                            If it's possible, it means you can virtually scrape every country. Some countries would have new/expiring data (using the scraping method you've had so far), whereas others would just have availability (is it on Netflix: yes / no). That last data is what I pay the API for, as I'm sure many others are. The date data, in my view, is a nice to have. If I have to choose between having no data on so many countries or availability data on all of them, I'd definitely choose the latter.

                              And if your question is how to find completely new titles, you can use TMDb or OMDb to scrape against all titles.

                                          Did a quick check on Greece - unique items - lists a bunch of Superman movies, US Marshals, Lethal Weapon, but when searched - they are not on netflix greece as far as I can tell. making it harder and harder to tell what's valid.
