Netflix Data Visor

Video demo: https://youtu.be/Q6ecN9GK7x8

A Python program that reads your Netflix viewing and billing data and shows you fun stats. Built for CS50P at Harvard.

What It Does

Netflix lets you download all your data - every show you have watched, every dollar you have spent. But the files are just raw CSVs. This program makes them readable.

You pick a profile (or all of them), then choose from a menu:

1. Total Spent - how much you have paid since joining. Asks if you want PYG conversion too.
2. Most Watched Series - top 5 shows ranked by watch time.
3. Most Watched Movies - same thing, but for films.
4. Total Watch Time - all your hours combined in one number.
5. Cost Per Hour - total spent divided by total hours.

It automatically skips trailers, hooks, and autoplay previews so your real watch time is not inflated.

Getting Your Netflix Data

1. Netflix -> Account -> Download your personal information
2. Wait for the email (usually less than a day)
3. Download and unzip the file
4. You will get a folder with a name like 1343059170
5. Inside it, the program uses two folders: CONTENT_INTERACTION/ViewingActivity.csv PAYMENT_AND_BILLING/BillingHistory.csv

How to Run

pip install -r requirements.txt
python project.py C:\Users\you\Downloads\1343059170

Or just python project.py and type the path when asked.

Files

project.py - the whole program. Menu, analysis functions, everything. test_project.py - tests for the main functions. requirements.txt - the libraries needed: pandas and requests.

Sample Data

The sample_data/ folder contains fake example data. Try it out:

python project.py sample_data
