If I could use this to get subtitled gifs of the scene in question, not just screenshots, it would go from amazing to godlike. On the roadmap for v2, hopefully?

I love this. It found everything I threw at it. I hope the Fox lawyers don't take it down. https://frinkiac.com/?p=search&q=THERE%27S+A+STUFFED+PEPPER+...

I searched for "moon pie" and didn't find what I was looking for. :(

Yeah, I was saying Boo-urns, and it couldn't find it.

Also, yeah, this is coming down as soon as the lawyers get ahold of it.

This is amazing. I hope there's an api for this

Break out your Chrome inspector and follow along in our exciting home version:

https://frinkiac.com/api/search?q=hoyvin

Results look like this:

[{"Id":1745953,"Episode":"S13E08","Timestamp":797213,"Filename":""}]

Concatenate the episode and timestamp to get the image:

https://frinkiac.com/img/S13E08/797213/medium.jpg

Caption here:

https://frinkiac.com/api/caption?e=S13E08&t=797213

Look for the Subtitles array:

"Subtitles":[{"Id":138914,"Episode":"S13E08","StartTimestamp":794266,"EndTimestamp":796533,"Content":" ( gavel pounding ) So, Professor,"},{"Id":138915,"Episode":"S13E08","StartTimestamp":796533,"EndTimestamp":799834,"Content":"tell us about Operation Hoyvin-Mayvin."}]

The spelling in the captions can be hard to predict, and it's not good at fuzzy matching:

No Milpool! :(

More seriously:

1) Awesome!!!

2) It would be great if the search results page listed the quotes in addition to showing the images.
