Seerr

Seerr Media Requests

Search and request movies/TV shows through Seerr's API. Seerr routes movie requests to Radarr and TV requests to Sonarr automatically.

Setup

The agent needs two environment variables. Store them in your OpenClaw environment or .env file:

• SEERR_URL — Base URL of the Seerr instance (e.g. http://localhost:5055 if running locally, or http://<server-ip>:5055 for remote)
• SEERR_API_KEY — API key from Seerr → Settings → General

Important: Always use $SEERR_URL (not hardcoded localhost) in API calls so it works regardless of where Seerr is hosted.

API Reference

All requests require the header X-Api-Key: <SEERR_API_KEY>.

Search

curl -s -H "X-Api-Key: $SEERR_API_KEY" \
  "$SEERR_URL/api/v1/search?query=PERCENT_ENCODED_QUERY&page=1&language=en"

Results array. Key fields per result:

• mediaType — movie, tv, or person
• id — TMDB id (used for requests)
• title (movies) / name (TV)
• releaseDate / firstAirDate
• overview
• mediaInfo.status — 1 (unknown), 2 (pending), 3 (processing), 4 (partially available), 5 (available). Absent if never requested.

Filter results to mediaType of movie or tv only.

Request a Movie

curl -s -X POST -H "X-Api-Key: $SEERR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "$SEERR_URL/api/v1/request" \
  -d '{"mediaType":"movie","mediaId":TMDB_ID}'

Request a TV Show

All seasons:

curl -s -X POST -H "X-Api-Key: $SEERR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "$SEERR_URL/api/v1/request" \
  -d '{"mediaType":"tv","mediaId":TMDB_ID,"seasons":"all"}'

Specific seasons:

curl -s -X POST -H "X-Api-Key: $SEERR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "$SEERR_URL/api/v1/request" \
  -d '{"mediaType":"tv","mediaId":TMDB_ID,"seasons":[1,3]}'

Check Status

# Movie
curl -s -H "X-Api-Key: $SEERR_API_KEY" "$SEERR_URL/api/v1/movie/TMDB_ID"

# TV
curl -s -H "X-Api-Key: $SEERR_API_KEY" "$SEERR_URL/api/v1/tv/TMDB_ID"

Workflow

1. Search for the title
2. Filter to movie/tv results
3. For each result, send a separate Discord message with:
   • Poster image via media field
   • Title, year, rating, genres
   • Brief overview
   • Status emoji + text
   • Seerr link
4. Check availability and auto-request if not available:
   • If mediaInfo.status = 5 (available), just show status
   • Otherwise, request via API and confirm
5. Send each result as its own message (don't combine into one message)

Discord Integration

When responding in Discord, send plain text messages with inline links and optional poster images. Do not use interactive components — OpenClaw doesn't support them yet.

Discord Message Format

Send each result as its own separate message. Use the media field to embed the poster.

{
  "action": "send",
  "channel": "discord",
  "to": "channel:<CHANNEL_ID>",
  "message": "<emoji> **<title>** (<year>) — ⭐ <rating>\n<genre1>, <genre2>\n\n<overview (truncated to 1-2 sentences)>\n\n<status emoji> <status text>\n\n🔗 [View in Seerr]($SEERR_URL/<mediaType>/<tmdbId>)",
  "media": "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/<posterPath>"
}

Key Points

• Send each search result as a separate message (one message per result)
• Use media field for the poster image (TMDB URL format: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w500/<posterPath>)
• Include status emoji: ✅ available, ⏳ pending, 🔄 processing/partially available
• Auto-request if not available, then update the message or send follow-up confirmation
