autobrr

autobrr is an open‑source, self‑hosted automation tool that bridges IRC announce channels and RSS feeds from torrent indexers to download clients and *arr applications. It listens to real‑time announcements, filters releases based on user‑defined rules, and pushes matching torrents to qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, rTorrent, or the Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr ecosystem. The platform supports Docker, native binaries for Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD, and integrates with popular notification services like Discord, Telegram, and Pushover. autobrr aims to streamline torrent acquisition, reduce latency between announcement and download, and provide a flexible API for custom extensions.

autobrr publishes 25 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including API Keys API, ARR Integrations API, Authentication API, and 22 more. Tagged areas include Torrent, Automation, Open-Source, Self-Hosted, and Media.

The autobrr catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

autobrr’s developer surface includes CLI, authentication, changelog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, and 15 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
  • Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
