Little piece of Python code to find out candidate Netflix's Open Connect Appliances (OCA) for the end-host running this script. We rely on Netflix's speed-test fast.com, which measures throughput between users and their allocated OCAs. The script is two-fold:
- It gets the token necessary to request the list of OCAs.
- It requests the list of OCAs by inserting the token on the request.

To install the python libraries that are required to run the script:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
In addition, you may need to install whois and/or curl in case they ar not installed yet
$ sudo apt-get install whois
$ sudo apt-get install curl
Thanks to @seblaz, scripts now supports python3
python get_ocas.py
