Jackett works as a proxy server, it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar3, Lidarr, DuckieTV, qBittorrent, Nefarious, etc.) into tracker-site-specific HTTP queries, parses the HTML or JSON response, and then sends results back to the requesting software. This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic, removing the burden from other apps. Trackers marked with (invite needed) have no active maintainer and may be missing features or be broken. If your client supports multiple feeds it's recommended to add each indexer directly instead of using all indexers. Using the all indexer has no advantages (besides reduced management overhead). We recommend you install Jackett as a Windows service using the supplied installer. You may also download the zipped version if you would like to configure everything manually.

Features

  • When running jackett behind a reverse proxy make sure that the original hostname of the request is passed to Jackett
  • Jackett has an internal cache to increase search speed and to reduce the number of requests to the torrent sites
  • The default values should be good for most users
  • Some indexers are protected by CloudFlare or similar services and Jackett is not able to solve the challenges
  • Get the movie/series title if only the IMDB ID is provided in the request
  • You can pass various options when running via the command line
