Feeds

Some indexers does not have an IRC announce channel. Luckily, most of them have RSS support. You will treat Torznab/Newznab and RSS feeds as regular indexers when setting up your filters.

Torznab / Newznab​

Torznab and Newznab is essentially like browsing the torrents page, but automated and unified.

Prowlarr and Jackett are supported. We recommend that you use Prowlarr.

Go to Settings > Indexers and add Generic Torznab or Generic Newznab from the list.

  • Name: <name of indexer>
  • Torznab/Newznab URL: http://localhost:port/ID/api
  • API Key: <API key>
  • Download type: Torrent or Magnet

Once saved, head over to Settings > Feeds to enable it.

autobrr will get the latest 25 items from the RSS feed. On first run it will check all and cache the entries, on the second run it will check for any new entries and run them through the assigned filters.

tip

The ID part of the URL is the number given to the indexer by Prowlarr. You can see which number it is in Prowlarr by clicking the Indexer Name and viewing it in the info box.

The /api part of the URL is not to be confused with <API key> in the field below it.

RSS​

Find the RSS feature of your indexer and grab the RSS link.

Go to Settings > Indexers and add Generic RSS from the list.

  • Name: <name of indexer>
  • RSS URL: http://myindexer.com/rss
  • Download type: Torrent or Magnet

Once saved, head over to Settings > Feeds to enable it.

autobrr will get the latest items from the RSS feed. On first run it will check all and cache the entries, on the second run it will check for any new entries and run them through the assigned filters.

Clearing the feed cache​

Since version 1.29 it is possible to clear the feed cache. Head to Settings -> Feeds and click the three dots for the feed you want to clear.

Clear feed cache

tip

The cache is cleaned automatically every 30 days.

Force run feed​

The Force run feed option allows you to manually trigger a feed refresh, providing you with the most up-to-date data outside the regular feed schedule.

Force run feed

caution

Be careful when using this feature and ensure that you adhere to the refresh interval rules defined by the indexers.
