IndexError: list index out of range

Hi,

When I use the example provided, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "subtitles.py", line 10, in <module> id_subtitle_file = data[0].get('IDSubtitleFile') IndexError: list index out of range

Any idea?

Thanks

If you’re doing a search by an exact match then it’s very possible that there is only one set of subtitles associated with that exact file (the api does limit to 5 results per query if you’re using the default user agent, although I can’t find the docs on that now). You could also try doing a full-text search with something like:

ost.search_subtitles([{"query": "Joker 2019"}])

Although this won’t be as accurate as the exact match since the subtitles might not be aligned, or it may get some wrong results.

Like I mentioned before this library is a very thin wrapper, so the only reason I know these things is from opensubtitles’ documentation, since I’ve been working on my own wrapper.

From what I can tell it looks like the search didn’t return any items for your query, but didn’t raise an error (which might be for a number of reasons. I don’t remember how the api handles malformed queries).

If you try the query with a hash of "18379ac9af039390", and a size of 366876694 then you should get responses for fringe season 4 episode 3 if that helps you debug. This library provides a very thin wrapper in most cases so its easy to mistype the queries.

It’s possible whatever you are trying to query for just returned no results as well.
