Netflix Scraper Prototype

This Scraper project collects media information from Netflix using Selenium ChromeDriver. The application has been built to easily integrate additional scrapers such as for Amazon VOD.

I built this scraper out of fun and curiosity. Use at your own risk.

Get started

The collected information is stored in ConcurrentBag<IMedia>(). You can specify locations to store log files and the ChromeDriver cache in the App.config.
