Hi
My API code suddenly stopped working on 23 August 2023
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/login \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Api-Key: <insert my key>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"username": “my username,
"password": "my password"
}'
response
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>403 User-Agent header is wrong; set it to App name with version eg: MyApp v1.2.3</title>
I've never seen that 403 saying it needs and App name - so added this but now
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/login \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Api-Key: <insert my key>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'User-Agent: myapp v1' \
--data '{
"username": “my username,
"password": "my password"
}'
{"status":400,"error":"Bad Request"}
Has something changed - the documentation at Stoplight is not saying that the API has changed
Thanks
David

Re: Can't authenticate with opensubtitles code code 403 and code 400
I've been seeing the same thing since about the same time:

@oss, any ideas?

$ curl --request POST --url https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/login --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Api-Key: ${OPENSUBTITLES_API_KEY}" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data "{ 'username': '${OPENSUBTITLES_USERNAME}', 'password': '${OPENSUBTITLES_PASSWORD}' }"

Hi
yes we now require to have User-Agent present in requests, set it up to your application/script name with version, like "Kodi Plugin v0.1"
this works for me.

I've confirmed this (specifying a non-stock user-agent) works for me.yes we now require to have User-Agent present in requests, set it up to your application/script name with version, like "Kodi Plugin v0.1"
thanks!
Re: Can't authenticate with opensubtitles code code 403 and code 400
Error code 403 usually indicates that access to the requested resource is forbidden. This could be due to various reasons, such as incorrect credentials, IP restrictions, or limitations imposed by the OpenSubtitles service itself. To resolve this issue, double-check your login credentials and ensure that they are entered correctly. If you continue to experience difficulties, you may need to contact OpenSubtitles support for further assistance.I've confirmed this (specifying a non-stock user-agent) works for me.yes we now require to have User-Agent present in requests, set it up to your application/script name with version, like "Kodi Plugin v0.1"

Not worked. Still 403 appear, no matter what User-Agent I specifys
Re: Can't authenticate with opensubtitles code code 403 and code 400
These params work
curl --request POST --url https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/login --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Api-Key: KEY" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "User-Agent: NAME v1" --data '{"username": "LOGIN", "password": "PASSWORD"}'
curl --request POST --url https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/login --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Api-Key: KEY" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "User-Agent: NAME v1" --data '{"username": "LOGIN", "password": "PASSWORD"}'
Re: Can't authenticate with opensubtitles code code 403 and code 400
thanks for sharing what works for you.
it is about specifying your User-Agent (app name) in header... like
--header "User-Agent: NAME v1" (instead of "NAME" use real application name)
