Hi again!
Thanks for your earlier response. Please kindly look into this one:

In the following query, file_name of the first item doesn't have an extension:

Code: Select all

https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/subtitles?episode_number=5&languages=en&moviehash=bdab37a50f89f8c6&season_number=2

Code: Select all

{ "id": "2097549", "type": "subtitle", "attributes": { "subtitle_id": "2097549", "language": "en", "download_count": 102423, "new_download_count": 299, "hearing_impaired": false, "hd": false, "fps": 23.98, "votes": 0, "ratings": 0.0, "from_trusted": false, "foreign_parts_only": false, "upload_date": "2008-04-08T02:47:43Z", "ai_translated": false, "machine_translated": false, "release": "How.I.Met.Your.Mother.S02.DVDRip.XviD-WAT", "comments": "", "legacy_subtitle_id": 4361866, "uploader": { "uploader_id": 44325, "name": "powerleakin", "rank": "Bronze Member" }, "feature_details": { "feature_id": 88174, "feature_type": "Episode", "year": 2006, "title": "World's Greatest Couple", "movie_name": "How I Met Your Mother - S02E05 World's Greatest Couple", "imdb_id": 866188, "tmdb_id": 62782, "season_number": 2, "episode_number": 5, "parent_imdb_id": 460649, "parent_title": "How I Met Your Mother", "parent_tmdb_id": 1100, "parent_feature_id": 7810 }, "url": "https://www.opensubtitles.com/en/subtitles/legacy/4361866", "related_links": [ { "label": "All subtitles for Tv Show How I Met Your Mother", "url": "https://www.opensubtitles.com/en/features/redirect/7810", "img_url": "https://s9.osdb.link/features/4/7/1/88174.jpg" }, { "label": "All subtitles for Episode World's Greatest Couple", "url": "https://www.opensubtitles.com/en/features/redirect/88174" } ], "files": [ { "file_id": 2179736, "cd_number": 1, "file_name": "How I Met your Mother - 205 - Worlds Greatest Couple" } ], "moviehash_match": true } }

But the download endpoint has the file_name with a proper extension (file id: 2179736).

Code: Select all

{ "link": "<REMOVED>/subfile/How%20I%20Met%20your%20Mother%20-%20205%20-%20Worlds%20Greatest%20Couple.srt", "file_name": "How I Met your Mother - 205 - Worlds Greatest Couple.srt", "requests": 2, "remaining": 3, "message": "Your quota will be renewed in 23 hours and 47 minutes (2022-12-08 18:50:43 UTC) ", "reset_time": "23 hours and 47 minutes", "reset_time_utc": "2022-12-08T18:50:43.000Z" }

To find the file extension, should I check both endpoints or just the download endpoint is fine?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

sorry for the late response.

the format is not really relevant. in the /subtitles endpoint, it's indicated without extension, because they can be generated with any extension.

in the /download endpoint, you see the file with the ".srt" extension because it is the default. you can make a request with another file_name, or with a different format, if you just send the file_id, the file name will be the default file name with srt format.

hope that makes sense
