Jackett

Jackett is a self-hosted background service that functions as a BitTorrent tracker aggregator and proxy. It enables automated media management applications to query multiple torrent indexers simultaneously by translating standardized search requests into site-specific formats and consolidating the resulting data into a single, unified feed.

The service distinguishes itself through an adapter-based architecture that handles the complexities of disparate tracker interfaces and security protocols. It integrates with external proxy services to bypass anti-bot challenges and maintain persistent access to protected remote data sources. Additionally, the application includes a metadata resolution pipeline that maps unique media identifiers to human-readable titles using external databases to ensure accurate content matching.

Beyond its core aggregation capabilities, the software provides local result caching to minimize redundant network traffic and improve response times. It is designed for continuous operation, supporting installation as a persistent system service that manages its own lifecycle and restarts automatically to ensure availability.

Features

  • Torrent Indexer Aggregators - Query multiple trackers simultaneously and merge the findings into a single unified response to eliminate the need for manual data consolidation by the requesting application.
  • Automation Integrators - Connects external media automation tools to various torrent indexers for consistent data retrieval.
  • Torrent Search Aggregators - Provides a unified interface to query multiple torrent indexers simultaneously and consolidate their results into a single feed.
  • Proxy Middleware - Translates search queries into tracker-specific requests and aggregates results into a unified format for media applications.

      This project is a privacy-focused, self-hosted metasearch engine that aggregates results from a wide array of web, academic, and media sources into a single, unified interface. By acting as a proxy between the user and external search providers, it strips identifying headers and tracking parameters from requests, ensuring that search activity remains anonymous and protected from third-party profiling. The platform distinguishes itself through a modular, plugin-based architecture that allows for extensive customization of search behavior, result filtering, and interface branding. It supports a
