How to Download Your Netflix Viewing History CSV
A Netflix viewing history CSV is the smallest useful export for reviewing what one profile watched and when. Netflix provides it from Viewing activity, not from the separate full-account information archive.
The decision that matters
Choose the right export before you start
Netflix offers more than one data-download path. The Download Your Data workspace intentionally accepts only the per-profile Viewing activity CSV, so choosing the full personal-information archive creates the wrong input and adds unnecessary sensitive data.

Questions before you export
Frequently asked questions
Which Netflix file does Download Your Data accept?
It accepts the per-profile Viewing activity CSV downloaded with Download all. It does not accept the separate full-account personal-information archive as the same input.
Does the Netflix CSV include every profile?
No. The workflow starts from a selected profile, so download each profile's Viewing activity separately when you need multiple histories.
What columns should the Netflix viewing history CSV contain?
The current supported file has the header Title,Date and one viewing-activity row beneath it for each displayed title and date.
