# OpenSubtitles

Use this skill to fetch subtitle context around a timestamp. This is **read‑only**: no uploads or modifications.

## Setup

Users should obtain an API key at: https://www.opensubtitles.com/consumers

Required env vars:
- `OPENSUBTITLES_API_KEY`
- `OPENSUBTITLES_USER_AGENT` (e.g., `OpenClaw 1.0`)

Optional (for downloads):
- `OPENSUBTITLES_USERNAME`
- `OPENSUBTITLES_PASSWORD`
- `OPENSUBTITLES_TOKEN` (if already logged in)
- `OPENSUBTITLES_BASE_URL` (hostname from login response, e.g., `api.opensubtitles.com`)

## Commands

Scripts live in `{baseDir}/scripts/`.

### Search subtitles

```
{baseDir}/scripts/opensubtitles-api.sh search --query "Show Name" --season 3 --episode 5 --languages en
```

Prefer IDs when available (imdb/tmdb). Use parent IDs for TV episodes. Follow redirects for search (script already uses `-L`).

### Login (token)

```
{baseDir}/scripts/opensubtitles-api.sh login
```

Note: Login is rate limited (1/sec, 10/min, 30/hour). If you get 401, stop retrying.
Use `base_url` from the response as `OPENSUBTITLES_BASE_URL` for subsequent requests.

### Request a download link

Before downloading, check the local subtitle cache (see below). Only call the download API if the file is not already cached.

```
OPENSUBTITLES_TOKEN=... {baseDir}/scripts/opensubtitles-api.sh download-link --file-id 123
```

### Extract context at timestamp

After downloading an `.srt` file (default window: 10 minutes before timestamp):

On Windows, use `findstr` or PowerShell `Select-String` to replicate the awk logic (use the shell script as a guide). The agent should pick the best option available on that system.

```
{baseDir}/scripts/subtitle-context.sh ./subtitle.srt 00:12:34,500
```

Custom window:

```
{baseDir}/scripts/subtitle-context.sh ./subtitle.srt 00:12:34,500 --window-mins 5
```
