Netflix is the world's leading Internet television network with more than 50 million members enjoying more than a billion hours of TV shows and movies per month around the world. The API is central to delivering the Netflix service, powering the user experience on over 1000 device types ranging from TVs and game consoles to tablets and smartphones. The API enables Netflix and its partners to rapidly iterate on new product features and is integral to Netflix's long-term strategy.

The API is the key integration point between Netflix devices and a distributed services architecture, putting it at the forefront of many of these "long tail" issues.
