It seems that the 8 alphanumeric character hex string "c88e2062" changes over time (possibly as a commit or release code?), so the JSON GETs no longer work in the initialize() method. 404 errors are returned by the HTTP requests. How did you determine the URL to hit for getting the JSON?

I did only test in-browser and not via the Python program, though.

Tomatoflix, as mentioned in the README, no longer seems to be up (it's now a pregnancy food search tool - and given it says copyright 2015, congratulations on your son/daughter who would have been born by now!). Are you still using this Netflix scraper anywhere online? Does it still work?

This looks awesome by the way. Thanks for making it.
I tried running it and am getting this error:
Error: Was not able to download JSON data. AJAX URLs may have changed or Netflix ID may be incorrect.
I tried both the NetflixId cookie and the SecureNetflixId cookie, and neither seemed to work. I opened up netflix and clicked on browse and then selected anime, and the Chrome Network tab had this as the URL:
https://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/113b89c9/pathEvaluator?withSize=true&materialize=true&model=harris which is similar but not that similar to the URL in the code:
http://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/c88e2062/wigenre?genreId=%s&full=false&from=0&to=10000

Is this something you are willing to fix?

I saw the domain is blank. Did this shutdown? Did Netflix issue a C&D?

You have no email so this is my only way of contacting you. I wrote a scraper similar to this......I din't make an api out of it but it did the trick. It worked right up until netflix started using react text on there site. I'm really curious to figure out how you got around this. Because I've been trying to figure it out for awhile. I've thought about using browser automation. but that feels like over kill.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this project, I could work around and got what I needed.
However a few features doesn't work out. (or I didn't understand how it works out)

1. I don't seem to figure out why I cannot get Netflix.search() to work. I get an error message and a list of suggestions. If I input as str one of the search suggestions... still doesn't work and prompt another suggestion list.
2. I got to work only Netflix.initialize() and Netflix.all_titles() (and that was sufficient for what I had to do).
3. Other methods like Netflix.titles() or Netflix.tv_show() or Netflix.duration() doesn't work out. Error message says self.netflix_json is not defined. And from what I read in your code, the rest seems to be pretty much the same error message.

Hope you could help.

In the other hand I see the latest commit is about 5 years old. If we'd like to take over the repares and solve it out, or complete the project... What is your Licence policy? Do you authorize to just fork and finish it?
