[NEW] REST search, JSON results

[oss]

perfect thx

[pirasalbe]

I finally managed to build a very little sample app that performs a search using these rest api.
Here you can read the code.

I hope it helps

[oss]

very cool. We have also suggestions (while you type), what about implement that one ?

So one of my users downloads the subtitle and gets this on the screen "In order to continue OpenSubtitles subtitles service you need to Log In".

How can they log in with this new API?

[oss]

there is no login method yet, he is using VPN or other proxy (banned IP). When I will find time and power I will create this, I know it is needed.

we are preparing completely new API with so much more options (from opensubtitles.com)

[mntgoat]

I'll let them know.

Any idea how much the new api will change and when it will be available? I'm getting close to porting my android code to ios and I would hate to have to write it twice.

Thanks.

Cool, where can I find more about it??

[oss]

it was implemented on main www.opensubtitles.org once user write something in search box, but more correct implementation is online now:

Code: Select all

curl -A 'TemporaryUserAgent' http://rest.opensubtitles.org/suggest/query-a/sublanguageid-eng

query must come before sublanguageid. We are returning a lot of interesting data there:

Code: Select all

{ "name":"Alita: Battle Angel", "year":"2019", "total":"23", "idmovie":124839, "pic":"https://static2.opensubtitles.org/gfx/thumbs/6/8/0/7/0437086.jpg", "kind":"movie", "rating":"7.6" }, ...

let us know if it is useful for you, and send example. Also I sent you PM...

we added authentication:

Code: Select all

curl -vvv -d 'username=your_username&password=your_password' -X POST -A 'TemporaryUserAgent v1.2' https://rest.opensubtitles.org/auth curl -vvv --user username:password -A 'TemporaryUserAgent v1.2' https://rest.opensubtitles.org/auth

If you want to download subtitles, either use http basic auth, or add sid parameter into download link.

Should I make all users log in like I used to with the old api?

[oss]

well, it is mostly useful for download, you can authenticate them, but it is not really needed. When doing download, the best is use HTTP Basic auth within download request

[mntgoat]

I see and I guess I can do this only for users who are banned? Is there an easy way to know this authentication will be required and more importantly, is there a way for me to test this without having to find a banned vpn ip?

[oss]

Hi

not really only for those users. Many users are VIP and they would like to use their limits - 1000 subtitles downloads per 24 hours instead of 200 subtitles. Also it is very very useful for those who are on VPN, because they need to log in.

If you want to try you are successfully logged in, in every REST response I can add if user is logged in or not (HTTP header X-Auth-Request: Yes|No) or something like that.

[mntgoat]

Ok I can easily add an optional login. I use to have that on the old api as well.

My question is, when it fails because the ip is banned and the user needs to log in, how will I know that happened? and it is there a way for me to test that kind of response while writing the code?

Thanks.
