What is Prowlarr?
The Prowlarr skill is a robust integration designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, providing users with a streamlined way to interact with their Prowlarr instance. This skill allows for centralized management of dozens of indexers, enabling high-speed searches across various media types including movies, TV shows, music, and books. By acting as a bridge between your AI agent and the Prowlarr API, it simplifies the complex task of finding and organizing digital releases.
Built for developers and home lab enthusiasts, this tool automates the interaction with indexers, allowing for precise queries using metadata identifiers like IMDB or TVDB IDs. Whether you are maintaining a vast media library or just looking for a specific Linux ISO, this skill provides the programmatic control necessary to manage your search infrastructure efficiently within the Openclaw Skills framework.
Prowlarr Use Cases
- Finding specific Linux distributions or media releases across multiple torrent and Usenet indexers simultaneously.
- Automating the health check process for all configured indexers to ensure maximum uptime for your media stack.
- Searching for high-quality movie releases (4K/UHD) using precise IMDB ID filters.
- Synchronizing indexer configurations across the entire 'arr' suite, including Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr.
How Prowlarr Works
- The skill connects to your self-hosted Prowlarr instance using the URL and API key defined in your local configuration.
- Users provide search terms or management commands through the agent interface, which are then parsed by the underlying bash scripts.
- The skill communicates with the Prowlarr API to query all active indexers or perform administrative tasks like testing or syncing.
- Search results are returned with detailed metadata, including category IDs, seeders, and release types.
- Status reports and health checks are outputted in a developer-friendly format to help maintain the search environment.

"apiKey": "your-api-key"
}
Obtain your API key from your Prowlarr web interface by navigating to Settings > General > Security.
