React Netflix 'hack' - access react component from chrome console

Youll need a Netflix login to be able to do this job!

Im initially looking for a very short job to give me a proof of concept.

I know my way around js - but I dont know react. I want to access variables relating to the current state of the netflix player using js (current time, duration, playing/paused)

When you play a show in Chrome on Mac OS on Netflix - if you run the react developer tools, youll see a class called BaseAkiraPlayer

This has state cadmiumPlayerInstance
which has methods getCurrentTime & getDuration

I want to be able to access these methods from the console in chrome.
(If the proof of concept is succesfull, then ultimately Ill want to access them from a chrome plugin)

Im looking for code from you which I can type into the console something conceptually like:

loadNecessaryJSFiles...

var akira = React.getClass(BaseAkiraPlayer)
var player = akira.cadmiumPlayerInstance

var currentTime = player.getCurrentTime()



As I said - I dont know my way round React - so its up to you to let me know the right way to approach this. The end goal is to have some standalone javascript that can get info about the player state.
