Maximum downloads reached from my IP although I didn't download anything

Mon Dec 05, 2022 4:25 am

Hello,

In my application, I search for subtitles for all languages for a specific movie, and opensubtitles returns 500 subtitles. However, only tapping on one of them would actually download it.

Although I didn't download anything, it tells me I reached the maximum number of downloads.

Notice that if I inspect the response, it tells me I have downloaded 192962 subtitles:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><methodResponse><params><param><value><struct><member><name>token</name><value><string>JBaKlfBSKPaB5-Co5msTWFfdwHb</string></value></member><member><name>status</name><value><string>200 OK</string></value></member><member><name>data</name><value><struct><member><name>IDUser</name><value><string>7148358</string></value></member><member><name>UserNickName</name><value><string>matteogobbi</string></value></member><member><name>UserRank</name><value><string>app developer</string></value></member><member><name>UploadCnt</name><value><string>0</string></value></member><member>[b]<name>DownloadCnt</name><value><string>192962</string>[/b]</value></member><member><name>UserWebLanguage</name><value><string>en</string></value></member><member><name>IsVIP</name><value><int>0</int></value></member></struct></value></member><member><name>seconds</name><value><double>0.005</double></value></member></struct></value></param></params></methodResponse>
I use this API for my application, so my users would ping this API, but each of them will do it from a different IP, max a few per day.

Can you help to understand how this works?

Thank you in advance.

first of all, this xml-rpc api is end of life, so we not recommend to use it and specially implement it. Check new API:
https://www.opensubtitles.com/docs/api/html/index.htm

next, which user agent you are using? And also I guess you are using always your userid to download subtitles?
https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/profile/iduser-7148358

anyway:

- each of user should use his username and password to login, if you want to avoid this, contact us for pricing
