Anyone know where such websites get their data? I'm looking for an API for Netflix that would let me list all movies that have specific subtitles available. Netflix.com/browse/subtitles only shows a limited amount of movies.

Netflix closed their API some years ago. Only a few grandfathered sites still have access.

eg. I use instantwatcher.com

They maintain scrapers/indexers undoubtedly. In the absence of an API, you can scrape the aggregators yourself.
