Netflix – how many movies you’ve rented

December 30th, 2007. Tagged: bookmarklets, JavaScript, netflix

Netflix is a great service, it's a shame they don't seem to provide any APIs. Oh, well, we'll have to resort to other means of extracting data.

A little javascript to count how many movies you've rented:

document
    .getElementById('returned_movies')
    .getElementsByTagName('tbody')[0]
    .getElementsByTagName('tr')
    .length

You can put this code in a bookmarklet or simply type in the Firebug console.

As people say "your markup is your API".
