# Overseerr
Interact with a local/self-hosted Overseerr instance (search + request + status).
Note: This skill targets **Overseerr** (the current stable project), not the newer "Seerr" rewrite that is in beta.
## Setup
Set env vars (recommended via your Clawdbot config):
- `OVERSEERR_URL` (example: `http://localhost:5055`)
- `OVERSEERR_API_KEY` (Settings → General → API Key)
## Search
```bash
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.mjs "the matrix"
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.mjs "bluey" --type tv
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.mjs "dune" --limit 5
```
## Request
```bash
# movie
node {baseDir}/scripts/request.mjs "Dune" --type movie
# tv (optionally all seasons, default)
node {baseDir}/scripts/request.mjs "Bluey" --type tv --seasons all
# request specific seasons
node {baseDir}/scripts/request.mjs "Severance" --type tv --seasons 1,2
# 4K request
node {baseDir}/scripts/request.mjs "Oppenheimer" --type movie --is4k
```
## Status
```bash
node {baseDir}/scripts/requests.mjs --filter pending
node {baseDir}/scripts/requests.mjs --filter processing --limit 20
node {baseDir}/scripts/request-by-id.mjs 123
```
## Monitor (polling)
```bash
node {baseDir}/scripts/monitor.mjs --interval 30 --filter pending
```
Notes:
- This skill uses `X-Api-Key` auth.
- Overseerr can also push updates via webhooks; polling is a simple baseline.Related Skills
