API key is blocked

[madurapa]

The default API key that comes with the script has been blocked by OpenSubtitles. the solution is to create a free API key for yourself.

Hi, how do you know the api key is blocked? From what I can gather, it's still working and you probably just need a proper account (as before) to use this software.

I used the key in https://opensubtitles.stoplight.io/docs/opensubtitles-api/73acf79accc0a-login and got an error message saying the key is blocked and emailed instructions on how to unlock.

The default key is still working fine for me (and others), did you follow instructions on how to use a valid account ?

I'm using my personal key for now. I guess it should be fine if the other has no problem.

Thank you

Yes you can use a personal key that's no problem. But nobody else reported the issue, and I can still see many downloads from the stats :/

Just checked with the repo key. Yes, it's working fine. I guess it was just the API false response on that day.
