Construct a Netflix Affiliate URL to a search result page?

Question

I have a Netflix Affiliate account, but I don't want to direct users to the homepage for them to create an account, I want to direct them to a search result page. The reason for this is that on our site we have lots of titles but they can't be reliably linked to a single Netflix result programmatically, so we would prefer if we could direct users to a search page, and if the user signs up, get the revenue. Is this possible? I find the whole Netflix-Affiliate-but-Google-Affiliate scheme a bit daunting.

Answer 1

Sorry for answering my own question once again. I found the answer here (a bit hidden that link). For anyone wondering about the same problem, here's a quote from that page:

Deep linking (linking to pages other than the main Netflix login page) is a little more complicated - the structure is:

http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/tplclick?lid=41000000030242852&pubid=00000000000000000&redirect=[Endcoded Deep linking URL]

That works pretty good.

Answer 2

I would be wary of using Felix's example above before confirming your account details with the Netflix API team. I think you need to first submit your Google ID (GAN) along with your API key so that they will credit leads generated with the above structure.
