API search works different from searching on website?

Sat Dec 26, 2015 10:17 am

Hi,

I'm making a script to download all french subtitles. I need them cause I want to build a frequency dictionary of spoken French.

The problem I have is that when I search on the website, I can specify only language, year and genre and I will get a list of movies no problem. However, when I try to do the same through the API ({'sublanguageid': 'fre', 'movieyear': '2015', 'genre': 'adventure'}) I get nothing. Seems like I have to specify 'query' parameter, which defeats my purpose.

I would like to avoid scraping regular website. How can I download all french subtitles through the API? Of course I'm gonna respect the free access and make my script slow.

Contact me in PM, API is not built to download subtitles like that.
