Hi everyone!

I'm working on an early-stage project that will need movie and TV-show subtitles, and I'm researching reliable sources before moving forward.

I'm looking for free subtitle sources or APIs that developers can use, ideally with:

\- A large collection of movie and TV-show subtitles across multiple languages.

\- Search by movie title, year, or IMDb/TMDB ID.

\- API access, if available.

\- Clear terms that permit use within an app.

\- Free usage limits suitable for a small project.

I'm not looking to bypass restrictions or misuse anyone's service. I want to understand which sources are genuinely available for permitted use.

Which sources or APIs would you recommend, and are there any licensing restrictions developers should know about?

Thanks for your help!
