LingQ Video Tools

I’m sorry if this is a bit offtopic. Just asking here since it is somehow related and I think the chances of getting a substantive answer here are higher than messaging Support.

I was browing some old code of mine that used to work to import a Youtube video. It is very straightforward: it sends a request to “lessons/import/” with some Youtube URL and lets LingQ do his thing.

My issue is that it now fails when there are only auto-generated subtitles, while I’m almost positive that this worked in the past. Does anyone remember? This is the behaviour of the LingQ Import Addon anyway.

Is there something that I’m missing? Without wanting you to go into the details of your code, am I now forced manually replicate their Addon if I want to use that endpoint with Youtube videos with auto-generated subtitles?

I will perfectly understand if you don’t want to answer, I just wonder why and when it stopped working…
