Jackett is a robust free and open-source maintained indexer scraping and translation logic. It is similar to a proxy server because it is an intermediary between various torrent indexers (providers) and applications like Sonarr, Radarr, and CouchPotato. In other words, Jackett monitors all the trackers (public or private) you assign to and forward requests to other apps.
This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic – removing the burden from other apps.
This is free and open source software.
