List of Netflix genres

The repository contains a pre-fetched list of available genres

The Script to fetch and post-process the list of genres

The script fetch_data.sh fetches a list of Netflix genres using Netflix's Falcor API.

To use the script, open up netflix.com in browser, log in, and grab your cookie and "authURL" from some request with "pathEvaluator". Such as the following URL: https://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/de471087/pathEvaluator

Substitute these values in the bash script and run it.

Usage:

  1. Edit fetch_data.sh and substitute in values for COOKIE and AUTH_URL.
  2. Run fetch_data.sh
  3. Verify that all JSON files under data/ are actually JSON. Delete the offending files and re-run the script otherwise.
  4. Run postprocess.py to generate a clean listing of the data and errors.
