# 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

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

## 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
```

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