Does SubtitleEdit have some kind of APIs?

FranceBB · 20th February 2023, 11:13

Hi there,
as part of the migration to the cloud, I'd like to create an EC2 on AWS that I can spin up and down and trigger jobs on SubtitleEdit. Those jobs would include stuff like .srt to .stl conversion, 23,976 to 25fps timecode conversion of .stl files and so on and so forth.
Currently, we do those things on prem and an operator manually does this, however I'd like to automate the process, but in order to do that, I need some kind of APIs.
I tried looking at the documentation but I couldn't find anything other that the integration with Google transcribe etc which I don't need anyway.

So... does Subtitle Edit have some kind of API?
And if not, is there any way I can trigger jobs automatically?

I think you can use subtitleedit-cli with some docker linux container
https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit-cli
