Re: [OS] API only for logged users
Posted: Tue May 12, 2020 7:08 pm
I recently registered an account/user agent for programmatically downloading subtitles for movies/TV shows (hobby project, just for me basically). I was using the API over at https://rest.opensubtitles.org/search .
Both the email and the post here say that the login request needs opensubtitles.org username and password. What actually happened for me is that I kept getting "401 Unauthorized" error, and I needed to create a new account over at opensubtitles.com .. Just noting that in case anyone else stumbles over that as well..
My main question(s): what's the relation between APIs at https://rest.opensubtitles.org/ and https://www.opensubtitles.com/api/ ?
Is the first one deprecated now?
Should I use the second one to get the authorization token that I should use when interacting with the first one?
Will I get banned if I keep using the first one without any authorization (the email says so, so I parked my little util until I made sure I was playing fair )
Thanks in advance and thanks for everything you are doing here!
