Part 2: A simple script to pull information

What's the method for the 166x233 boxart? That's the only one I actually need, but it's used on by their windows app so I can't inspect it in Chrome.

@hunterdaver
One of the ways I've found is to use the Windows 8.1 Store app API at

https://api-global.netflix.com/win/2.20/get?method=get&path=URLENCODED_PATH&format=json&progressive=true&languages=en-US

Requesting the path ["shows","80133311","browse"] will return:

{
	"path": ["shows",
	"80133311",
	"browse"],
	"value": {
		"title": "Riverdale",
		"box": "http://art-2.nflximg.net/64e83/a6af224ff11187c2cbfb82d996864b68f4864e83.jpg"
	}
}

I would like to pull just the titles /subtitle/he for example.

how can it be done?

@FrankieD Thank you very much for your help :) I have another question on how to download information on the availability of subtitles and languages? I can see this information appears in the source page. Is there a way to download the information from the API?

FrankieD

@hunterdaver Subtitle and language info is available on the standard browser API described in the first post. The API call when you open a single item looks something like this:

[["videos",80097003,["availability","synopsis","queue","episodeCount","info","maturity","runtime","seasonCount","releaseYear","userRating","numSeasonsLabel","bookmarkPosition","watched"]]

Add "subtitles" and "audio" to the this list. It used to be there until a few days (weeks?) ago, but for some reason they removed the language info and availability from the detailed info page.

Use the Windows 10 store app API, e.g.

httpx://api-global.netflix.com/win/uwa/X.XX?falcor_server=0.1.0&materialize=true&winx_lang=en-GB&method=get&path=PATH

Using the path: ["series","NID",["summary"]] will give you large and small boxshots and vertical posters. You'll want the vertical/large.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately im getting HTTP ERROR 403.

I am trying to get with curl as get request
https://api-global.netflix.com/win/uwa/2.20?falcor_server=0.1.0&materialize=true&winx_lang=en-GB&method=get&path=%5b%22shows%22%2c%2280133311%22%2c%22browse%22%5d

Was trying to add headers with data from chrome request... but with no success. Any idea, what i am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Well, for one, the API path seems weird to me, can't make out if its the Win8.1 API (version 2.20 or higher) or the Win10 API (6.20 or higher).
However, 403 means you're not authorising properly. Perhaps they patched the system so that the same cookie will not work across different APIs. My advice for you would be to grab the cookies from the Windows 10 app and try those.

What would be the best way to simply check if a particular title is available? Use the pathEvaluator to do a search query?

@admin Yes thank you :) I mean pulling the information directly from Netflix like in the script you posted.

admin

The following JSON should do it:
$search='your search string'
$min='start of your search count, 0 typically'
$max='max results'
$at='your auth code discussed previously (may not be necessary)'

{"paths":[["search","$search",{"from":$min,"to":$max},["availability"]],["search","$search",{"from":$min,"to":$max},"boxarts","_342x192","webp"]],"authURL":"$at"}

Thank you! I included "titles" as well (after "$search") and it worked for me. The auth code wasn't necessary.

How do you get the information about WHEN titles will become available or expire?

admin

availabilityEndDateNear

["subtitles","audio","availability","availabilityEndDateNear"]

Now easy way to get when new titles are available that I know of...

spiffylogic

@admin When I use "availabilityEndDateNear" (for a title that I know is expiring soon) I get back something I don't understand:

u'availabilityEndDateNear': {u'$size': 16, u'$type': u'sentinel', u'size': 16}

What does this mean?

admin

@spiffylogic what title in what country?

spiffylogic

@admin That was "You Laugh But It's True" in Canada
