DTO Structure

RssResultModel

Represnting an Rss result item.

class RssResultModel {
    private _indexerId: string,
    private _indexerName: string,
    private _title: string,
    private _publishDate: Date,
    private _category: string[],
    private _downloadLink: string,
    /** _size Size of the torrent content **/
    private _size: number,
    private _fileCount: number,
    private _grabs: number,
    private _seeders: number,
    private _peers: number
}

TorznabIndexerModel

Representing a Jackett Indexer.

class TorznabIndexerModel {
    private _id: string,
    private _configured: boolean,
    private _title: string,
    private _description: string,
    private _link: string,
    private _language: string,
    private _type: IndexerType
}

IndexerType

The type of an indexer

enum IndexerType {
  private,
  public,
}

Initialize example

const jackettService: JackettService = new JackettService({
  connectionSettings: {
    baseUrl: "https://baseurl.com/jackett/api/v2.0/",
    apiKey: "apikey",
  },
  selfSignedSSL: true,
});

The service requires 3 properties to initialize properly:

1. baseUrl - The base url of the Jackett service.
   Important: your path needs to include the api base. It would probably be something like: /jackett/api/v2.0/

2. apiKey - Your API key from Jackett.

3. selfSignedSSL - The http client this package uses will reject self signed SSL certificates by default. If your Jackett service is hosted with self signed ssl, set this to true to allow the connection, otherwise set it to false.

Jackett Version
