OpenSubtitles forum

Hi, we are in the process of updating our app to use the new API. We see that it requires a user agent https://opensubtitles.stoplight.io/docs ... -appscript

Do we just put our app name there or do we have to configure that somewhere on your site?

Thanks.

I will update docs. Just put there your application name with version, like: "my app v0.1"
thanks

Thanks, will do that.

I have another question. The getting started guide says:

Your consumer can query the API on its own, and download 5 subtitles per IP's per 24 hours, but a user must be authenticated to download more.

But later it says:

Users must be authenticated for 2 endpoints: user infos (/infos/user) and subtitle downloads (/download), but we recommend once user was authenticated send this header with every request.

So which is it, can users download 5 subtitles per day without authentication or not?

yes it can download subtitles without authentication - just try it

it also depends on settings of UserAgent (api-key/consumer), but default is it can download without Bearer token. (5 subs per 24 hours)
