Radarr Integration

Legal Disclaimer

Read the Legal Disclaimer before using clients. You are responsible for ensuring lawful use.

Point Radarr at AniBridge’s qBittorrent-compatible API.

Add Download Client

1. Radarr → Settings → Download Clients → + → qBittorrent
2. Set Host and Port to AniBridge:
   • Host: anibridge (or localhost)
   • Port: 8000
3. Username/Password: any (auth is stubbed)
4. Category: prowlarr or none (or a custom one you create via API)
5. Test and Save

Configure AniBridge Indexer to only use the AniBridge Download Client

1. Radarr → Settings → Indexers → [your Indexer Name (Prowlarr)] → Make sure the hidden/advanced settings are shown (gear icon bottom right) → Downloader → Select AniBridge (or whatever you named the qBittorrent client above)

Completed Download Handling

AniBridge reports progress, save path, and final content_path so Radarr can import the file when the job completes.

If Radarr runs in a different container with a different mount, set QBIT_PUBLIC_SAVE_PATH to the path Radarr sees (inside the Radarr container), and ensure both containers mount the same host folder to that path.

Required Docker volume mapping

• AniBridge container: mount your host downloads folder to /data/downloads (default) or any path you prefer.
• Radarr container: mount the same host folder to the exact path you choose for QBIT_PUBLIC_SAVE_PATH (e.g. /downloads).

Example (host path shown as /path/to/downloads):

• AniBridge: -v /path/to/downloads:/data/downloads
• Radarr: -v /path/to/downloads:/downloads
• AniBridge env: QBIT_PUBLIC_SAVE_PATH=/downloads

AniBridge’s qBittorrent shim will now publish:

• save_path = /downloads in /api/v2/app/preferences, /sync/maindata, /torrents/info, /torrents/properties
• content_path = /downloads/<file> once the file is known

Verify mapping via API

Use a browser or curl:

• GET /api/v2/app/preferences → contains "save_path": "/downloads"
• GET /api/v2/torrents/info → for each item: save_path is /downloads; after completion content_path is /downloads/<file>
• GET /api/v2/sync/maindata → per torrent: save_path is /downloads
• GET /api/v2/torrents/properties?hash=<btih> → save_path is /downloads

What Radarr Calls

• POST /api/v2/torrents/add (magnet from Prowlarr)
• GET /api/v2/sync/maindata
• GET /api/v2/torrents/info
• GET /api/v2/torrents/files?hash=...
• GET /api/v2/torrents/properties?hash=...

Common error: path not found in container

Radarr error:

You are using docker; download client qBittorrent places downloads in /host/path but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings.

Fix:

• Ensure QBIT_PUBLIC_SAVE_PATH is set to the path inside the Radarr container (e.g. /downloads).
• Ensure both containers mount the same host folder to that path (-v /host/downloads:/downloads for radarr; -v /host/downloads:/data/downloads for AniBridge).
• Verify via the API endpoints above that AniBridge publishes /downloads.
