Note that for some of the google things, I wrote these or copied these
from elsewhere before googlecl was available, so you may want to use
that instead if it provides similar functionality.


Netflix:

  Log in, scroll to the bottom, and click on the tiny text "RSS Feeds".
  Copy out the feed URL (which is private to you) and use the following:

  $ wget 'http://rss.netflix.com/QueueRSS?id=<YOUR_ID_HERE>' -O netflix.rss

Google Reader:

  First, one-time setup, you need your OAuth token:

  $ curl -daccountType=GOOGLE -d email=[[email protected] \
           -d Passwd=[PASSWORD] -d service=reader \
           https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin

  That will display a few lines; the "Auth" one is important.

  Now, each time you want your OPML file (replace [AUTH] with yours from above):

  $ curl -H "Authorization:GoogleLogin auth=[AUTH]" \
                http://www.google.com/reader/subscriptions/export

Google contacts:

  See attached "getgooglecontacts.py"

Google mail: I use gmail-backup from here:

  http://www.gmail-backup.com/

  If anyone knows a good open source alternative, let me know.
  I'd like it to be incremental and handle tags nicely.

Google docs: I use gdata-copier from here:

  http://code.google.com/p/gdatacopier/
