API sites only (scraping optional) #88

Today I discovered I've been banned on addic7ed because of using this script. 
This probably is because periscope is scraping the addic7ed site.

So I'd like to search in only API websites (that allow scripts to download subs 
from their site).

For now I'll disable the scrape plugins (addic7ed / podnapisi / tvsubtitles, if 
I'm right only these plugins scrape) myself.

An option should be if the API searches cannot find a sub, only then scrape 
sites... (if sites do not give an API, they're likely not to be used by scripts 
so scraping them isn't nice).
This option should be disabled by default meaning if the user enables it it 
knows it has a chance of getting banned.
