This repository has code I wrote to extract names of TV shows and movies from the quarterly Netflix Letter to the shareholders.

For more details about my motivation and explanation of the code, please see my blog post.

• Python 3.6
• requests_html
• spaCy (if you'd like to try the NLP version)
• The pre-trained en_core_web_lg model (you can install it using python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg after installing spaCy.

The generate_html.py file uses functions defined in show_extractor.py to generate an html file with all the shows sorted by years and quarters. It outputs the html to stdout so you need to redirect it to a file to be able to open it in a browser.

The data/ directory has a copy of the actual letters to the shareholders that I saved from sec.gov.
