Netflix is Shutting Down its API

Over a Year Ago, Netflix Announced it was No Longer Issuing Keys to its Public API Platform, Cutting Off any Potential New Developers from Joining. That's the Service that Allowed 3rd-Party Developers to Build Apps that Gave you Different Ways to Browse and Access its Library of Movies. Today, Netflix's VP of Edge Engineering Announced in a Blog Post that, the API will Go Away Entirely as of November 14th. Not All is Lost however, as a "Small Set" of Developers Have been Approved for Private Access and the List includes Helpful Websites and Apps like InstantWatcher, FeedFliks, Can I Stream It ?, NextGuide, Flixster, Fanhattan, Yidio and Instant Watch Browser for Netflix. Not Familiar with them ? If you Use Netflix, you Should be, since they Make it Easy to Browse Movies by Year, Rating, or Even What Others Have Recently Queued. Of Course, Some of our Other Favourite Sites like AllFlicks, Aren't on the Approved List and we've Contacted them to Find Out their Fate.
