Introduction

# Jellyseerr

Request movies and TV shows through your Jellyseerr server for automated downloading to Plex/Jellyfin.

## Setup

Configure your Jellyseerr server:

```bash scripts/setup.sh ```

You'll need: - Jellyseerr server URL - API key (from Jellyseerr Settings > General)

## Usage

Request a movie: ```bash scripts/request_movie.py "Movie Name" ```

Request a TV show: ```bash scripts/request_tv.py "TV Show Name" ```

Search for content: ```bash scripts/search.py "Content Name" ```

## Examples

Request a movie: ```bash scripts/request_movie.py "The Matrix" ```

Request a TV show (entire series): ```bash scripts/request_tv.py "Breaking Bad" ```

Request specific TV season: ```bash scripts/request_tv.py "Breaking Bad" --season 1 ```

## Automatic Availability Notifications

Get notified when your requested content becomes available.

### Webhooks (Recommended)

For instant notifications, set up webhook integration. See [references/WEBHOOK_SETUP.md](references/WEBHOOK_SETUP.md) for the complete guide.

Quick setup: ```bash scripts/install_service.sh # Run with sudo ```

Then configure Jellyseerr to send webhooks to `http://YOUR_IP:8384/`

### Polling (Alternative)

For environments where webhooks aren't available, use cron-based polling:

```bash crontab -l > /tmp/cron_backup.txt echo "* * * * * $(pwd)/scripts/auto_monitor.sh" >> /tmp/cron_backup.txt crontab /tmp/cron_backup.txt ```

Check pending requests: ```bash scripts/track_requests.py ```

## Configuration

Edit `~/.config/jellyseerr/config.json`: ```json { "server_url": "https://jellyseerr.yourdomain.com", "api_key": "your-api-key", "auto_approve": true } ```

## API Reference

See [references/api.md](references/api.md) for Jellyseerr API documentation.
