Prowlarr

Prowlarr Skill

Wrapper around the Prowlarr API at http://10.0.0.100:9696 for searching indexers, managing downloads, and sending content to Deluge.

Setup

Prowlarr is running at http://10.0.0.100:9696. API key: bde248fcae1246db97e3ef09508be95a.

Environment variables (set in shell or inline):

export PROWLARR_URL=http://10.0.0.100:9696
export PROWLARR_API_KEY=bde248fcae1246db97e3ef09508be95a

Usage

Run via the CLI wrapper:

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts <command> [args]

Commands

Search

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts search "<term>" --limit 20 --categories 2000

Categories: 2000 = Movies, 5000 = TV, 3000 = Audio, 7000 = Anime, 8000 = XXX

Indexer filter: --indexer-ids 102,52 (UIndex, Pirate Bay)

Search returns: title, indexer, seeds, peers, size, age, and the downloadUrl needed to grab.

List Indexers

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts indexer

Shows: ID, name, enabled status for all configured indexers.

List Download Clients

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts downloadclient

Queue

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts queue --limit 20

Shows currently downloading items.

History

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts history --limit 20

Shows past downloads with event types (grabbed, failed, etc.).

Health Checks

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts health

System Status

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts system

Sending to Deluge

After searching, grab the downloadUrl from the results and use the deluge command:

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts deluge "<downloadUrl>"

This:

1. Triggers the Prowlarr grab (proxies the torrent/magnet download through Prowlarr)
2. Adds the torrent directly to Deluge via Deluge's JSON-RPC at 10.0.0.100:9112

Critical: Search first, then use the downloadUrl from the search result. Do NOT construct URLs manually — always use the downloadUrl field from a search result.

Example Workflows

Find and download a movie

# 1. Search
npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts search "Project Hail Mary 2026" --limit 10 --categories 2000
# 2. Send to Deluge using downloadUrl from results
npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts deluge "http://10.0.0.100:9696/prowlarr/102/download?apikey=bde248fcae1246db97e3ef09508be95a&guid=..."

Find a specific indexer's results

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts search "movie name 2026" --limit 10 --indexer-ids 102 --categories 2000

Check what's downloading

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts queue

Check download history

npx tsx /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/prowlarr/scripts/prowlarr.ts history --limit 30

Key Prowlarr API Facts

• Base URL: http://10.0.0.100:9696/prowlarr
• API key header: X-Api-Key: bde248fcae1246db97e3ef09508be95a
• Search: GET /api/v1/search?term=...&categories=...&indexerIds=...&limit=...
• Categories: Movies=2000, TV=5000, Audio=3000, Anime=7000
• Download URL from search result: downloadUrl field — this is the Prowlarr-proxied URL
• No POST to /grab — the old v0 skill tried this. The correct approach: use the downloadUrl from search results directly (it routes through Prowlarr to Deluge)
• Deluge WebUI: http://10.0.0.100:8112/json — password: kBrsL9ARrPJ7F%
• Deluge add torrent method: core.add_torrent_magnet (for magnets) or core.add_torrent_url (for http)
• Search is slow — many indexers are slow/rate-limited. Always set --limit and --categories. Expect 30-120 second response times on broad searches.
