I like this idea! I tried it in CHrome on Linux mint 17.1 and got an error:
GET https://www.netflix.com/api/shakti/b6260b85/viewingactivity?pg=0 404 (Not Found)

What should I do?

Updated fork here: https://gist.github.com/vineyy/6c25e8013feda5833134

The hardcoded alphanumeric part 'b6260b85' in the Netflix API changes. I don't yet know if it changes with profile and/or with location etc but it does.

There is a way to find what API can be hit to get the data. The https://www.netflix.com/WiViewingActivity page html has a JSON object defined as netflix.contextData and it has a services.data.api that tells what API can be hit. Type netflix.contextData.services.data.api on the devtool console and see yourself.

@vineyy, I saw that updated gist and @sander110419 was instructing to concatenate the build. It's here:

Cheers!

I've been through all the modified scripts I can find and this is the only one that works still, Netflix change their code too much to justify any real effort in fixing the others so if you want to get this script to work, the simplest way is to open the developer console and go to the network tab, scroll down one page on the viewing history page to see what the API url should be, and correct the script.

Another thing worth noting, is that the figures it gives out are seriously inaccurate if you like to rewatch shows. Each show you watch will only appear once in that page no matter how many times you watch it.

That always changing number is build identifier for Netflix API, it probably changes with every new build of their API. You can find current one in source of the page, search for BUILD_IDENTIFIER.
