Addic7ed API

addic7ed is a Golang package to get subtitles from Addic7ed website. As Addic7ed website does not provide a proper API yet, this package uses search feature of website and scraps HTML results to build data.

Installation

As any golang package, just download it with go get.

go get -u github.com/matcornic/addic7ed

Usage

Searching all subtitles of a given TV show

c := addic7ed.New()
show, err := c.SearchAll("Shameless.US.S08E11.720p.HDTV.x264-BATV[ettv]") // Usually the name of the video file
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(show.Name) // Output: Shameless (US) - 08x11 - A Gallagher Pedicure
fmt.Println(show.Subtitles) // Output: all subtitles with version, languages and download links

In order to find all the subtitles, this API:

1. Use search.php page of Addic7ed API
2. Parse the results

It means that if the tv show name is not precise enough, this API will not be able to find the exact TV show page.

Searching the best subtitle of a given TV show

c := addic7ed.New()
showName, subtitle, err := c.SearchBest("Shameless.US.S08E11.720p.HDTV.x264-BATV[ettv]", "English")
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(showName) // Output: Shameless (US) - 08x11 - A Gallagher Pedicure
fmt.Println(subtitle) // Output: the best suitable subtitle in English language
fmt.Println(subtitle.Version) // Output: BATV
fmt.Println(subtitle.Language) // Output: English

// Download the subtitle to a given file name
err := subtitle.DownloadTo("Shameless.US.S08E11.720p.HDTV.x264-BATV[ettv].srt")
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

In order to search the best subtitle, this API:

1. Filters subtitles of the given language. Here: English
2. Scores similarities between the name of the show and available versions (combining Jaro-winkler distance and an internal weight)
   1. It means that the name of the show has to contain the version. Here: BATV
3. Choose the version with the best score
4. Choose the best subtitle of the chosen version (the most updated one)

Helper functions

Some helper functions are provided to adapt subtitles structure to the context

c := addic7ed.New()
show, err := c.SearchAll("Shameless.US.S08E11.720p.HDTV.x264-BATV[ettv]") // Usually the name of the video file
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Filter subtitles to keep only english subtitles
subtitles = show.Subtitles.Filter(WithLanguage("English"))
// Group by version
subtitlesByVersion = subtitles.GroupByVersion()
fmt.Println(subtitlesByVersion["BATV"]) // Output: print all english subtitles of BATV version
