A Python wrapper for the OpenSubtitles REST API, providing easy access to subtitle data. This library allows you to interact with OpenSubtitles.com programmatically, making it simple to search for and download subtitles for your favorite movies and TV shows.

You can install the package using pip directly from PyPI or by cloning the repository from GitHub.

Install from PyPI:

pip install opensubtitlescom

Install from GitHub (latest development version):

pip install git+ssh:https://[email protected]/dusking/opensubtitles-com.git --upgrade

Using this wrapper is straightforward. It follows the OpenSubtitles API documentation closely and converts responses into Python objects. Here's an example of how to use it:

from opensubtitlescom import OpenSubtitles

# Initialize the OpenSubtitles client
subtitles = OpenSubtitles("MyApp v1.0.0", MY_API_KEY)

# Log in (retrieve auth token)
subtitles.login(MY_USERNAME, MY_PASSWORD)

# Search for subtitles
response = subtitles.search(query="breaking bad", season_number=1, episode_number=1, languages="en")

# Convert the response to a Python dictionary
response_dict = response.to_dict()
print(response_dict)

# Convert the response to a Json format
response_json = response.to_json()
print(response_json)

# Get first response subtitles
srt = subtitles.download_and_parse(response.data[0])

Here's another simple example:

# Get latest uploaded subtitles
latest_uploads = subtitles.discover_latest()

# Convert the response to a Python dictionary
latest_uploads_dict = latest_uploads.to_dict()

For more information on available methods and options, refer to the OpenSubtitles API documentation.

The library is accessible through the CLI, offering various options. To view all available commands, use the following:

$> ost -h
positional arguments:
  {set-cred,show-cred,search,download}
    set-cred            Set the API key, username and password in the config file.
    show-cred           Show the username and password in the config file.
    search              Search for subtitles by various criteria.
    download            Download a subtitle by query, file-id or movie-hash.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG       Path to the configuration file
  -v, --verbose         Increase verbosity level

Before executing CLI commands, set your opensubtitles user credentials using the set-cred command:

$> ost set-cred
Enter your API key (leave blank to keep existing):
Enter your username (leave blank to keep existing):
Enter your password (leave blank to keep existing):
Credentials set successfully!

Credentials are stored in the configuration file. Now you can use CLI commands. For instance, to search for subtitles:

$> ost search --query "The Matrix"
+----+---------------------------+----------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| #  | title                     | imdb-id  | file-id | file-name                                                              |
+----+---------------------------+----------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| 5  | The Matrix                | 133093   | 4480638 | The.Matrix.1999.1080p.BluRay.x264-CtrlHD.eng-sdh                       |

To download subtitles, use the download command with the specified file-id:

$> ost download --file-id 4461104

By default, the output file name will be the file ID. You can customize the output file name with the --output option:

$> ost download --file-id 4461104 --output my_subtitles.srt

You can easily download subtitles for a local file using the CLI. The command will automatically search for the hash and download the first result. For example, This following command will download the subtitle for "mymovie.mp4" and save it as "mymovie.srt".

$> ost download --file mymovie.mp4

You can combine search and download in a single command:

$> ost download --query "The Matrix"

By default, the output file name will be based on the first search result. To specify a custom output file name, use the --output argument:

$> ost download --query "The Matrix" --output my_subtitles.srt

To execute the unit tests, use the following command:

python -m unittest

Make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed and a valid Python environment set up before running the tests.
