This software creates a [Torznab](https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/Implementing-a-Torznab-indexer) (with [nZEDb](https://github.com/nZEDb/nZEDb/blob/master/docs/newznab_api_specification.txt) category numbering) and [TorrentPotato](https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer/wiki/Couchpotato-torrent-provider) API server on your machine. Torznab enables software such as [Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv) to access data from your favorite indexers in a similar fashion to rss but with added features such as searching. TorrentPotato is an interface accessible to [CouchPotato](https://couchpota.to/).
Jackett works as a proxy server: it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar, etc) into tracker-site-specific http queries, parses the html response, then sends results back to the requesting software. This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches.

This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic - removing the burden from other apps.
We were previously focused on TV but are working on extending searches to allow for searching other items such as movies, comics, and music.
