Ask HN: Closed captioning API

Check out http://boxfish.com - they supposedly have an API but it is not public. Previous discussion on HN at https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=boxfish

I have once developped this myself, by having a Linux machine with a tv card and some software scrape close captioning, and sending it to a webserver. Few years ago tho, and not running anymore. And you need one per tv channel you want to monitor.
