Usage instructions

1. Go to Netflix and log in.
2. Navigate to the Your Account page via the profile menu at the top-right.
3. In the MY PROFILE section, follow the Ratings link.
4. At the top of your ratings page find the start/stop buttons and the script's output area.
5. Click the start button.
6. When the script finishes, you can copy the data in the output area to a new text file or to somewhere else for further processing (e.g. a spreadsheet). The first row has the column titles. Columns are tab-separated.

A Netflix movie URL can be reconstructed like so: https://www.netflix.com/title/<netflix_id>

Known issues

• If you have the streaming plan, this script will work "as is". If you have the DVD plan, try loading https://www.netflix.com/MoviesYouveSeen and scroll to the end of the page. If it loads more movies, great, you can use this script "as is". If it does not, try v1.18 of this script.
• Extracting the ratings from the page can be slow if you have a lot of rated movies. Extracting 2500 ratings can take more than 60 seconds.

Acknowledgments

This script is based on Anthony Lieuallen's "getFlix Revamped", which is based on Devanshu Mehta's "getFlix" scripts, which in turn are based on scripts by John Resig. I completely rewrote Anthony's script for version 1.0 of my script, but I learned the Greasemonkey ropes by studying his script.

Needless to say I'm standing on the shoulders of giants.
