Hello,
I am having an odd behavior with the search for subtitle API url.

I am using the website https://opensubtitles.stoplight.io/docs ... -subtitles to build my request however when I specify an episode_number i get no results. At first i thought the issue was that my result set didn't have the episode I specified in the search criteria; however, the result count is 22 items and I found at least 2 episode 1s.

its possible it is something im doing wrong; maybe there is a field i am not specifying along with the episode number. Hence Im here looking for help.

Here is my test, i do have an API key i just removed it from the URL.

>> Works

Code: Select all

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/subtitles?languages=en&parent_imdb_id=2480514&parent_tmdb_id=46746&season_number=1' \
--header 'Api-Key: FAKE_PAI_KEY_HERE' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

>>Does not return any data ( Content-length = 0 )

Code: Select all

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1/subtitles?languages=en&parent_imdb_id=2480514&parent_tmdb_id=46746&season_number=1&episode_number=1' \
--header 'Api-Key: FAKE_API_KEY_HERE' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

I have tried this on the default and VIP servers and i get the same behavior.

Your help is appreciated.

One more find,

Looks like specifying type as

episode

breaks it as well.

according to https://opensubtitles.stoplight.io/docs ... Parameters

type is supposed to accept all, movie, episode with the default being all.

everything work, just specify --location to follow redirects. I will put big big red warning on DOCS, because it seems it is not enough to have there in big big red "Something wrong? Read about common mistakes and best practices"
