Search2 query inconsistent

Thu Mar 30, 2017 5:31 pm

Hey, when I want to perform a search by name using the xml output of the websites, the result is inconsistent:

e.g. Searching for "Star Wars":

Code: Select all

https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search2/sublanguageid-all/moviename-star%20wars/xml
, the result is parsable xml.

When I change the name to "Karamba",

Code: Select all

https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search2/sublanguageid-all/moviename-karamba/xml
The result is a website, not a xml page.

Is this a bug of opensubtitles?

I will fix it.

it is caused because it returns just one result, and you are redirected to that result.

Thanks!

For user friendliness, you can still forward the html requests.
Just not the xml requests.
