Prowlarr Skill

Search across all your indexers and manage Prowlarr from Clawdbot.

What It Does

• Search releases across all indexers (torrents + usenet)
• Filter by type (torrents-only, usenet-only) or category (Movies, TV, etc.)
• TV/Movie search by TVDB, IMDB, or TMDB ID
• Manage indexers — enable, disable, test, view stats
• Sync to apps — push indexer changes to Sonarr/Radarr

Setup

1. Get Your API Key

1. Open Prowlarr web UI
2. Go to Settings → General → Security
3. Copy your API Key

2. Create Credentials File

mkdir -p ~/.clawdbot/credentials/prowlarr
cat > ~/.clawdbot/credentials/prowlarr/config.json << 'EOF'
{
  "url": "https://prowlarr.example.com",
  "apiKey": "your-api-key-here"
}
EOF

Replace:

• https://prowlarr.example.com with your Prowlarr URL
• your-api-key-here with your actual API key

3. Test It

./skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr-api.sh status

Environment Variables (Alternative)

Instead of a config file, you can set:

export PROWLARR_URL="https://prowlarr.example.com"
export PROWLARR_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Troubleshooting

"Missing URL or API key"
→ Check your config file exists at ~/.clawdbot/credentials/prowlarr/config.json

Connection refused
→ Verify your Prowlarr URL is correct and accessible

401 Unauthorized
→ Your API key is invalid — regenerate it in Prowlarr settings
