Overview

Integrate with a local/self-hosted Overseerr instance to search for media, submit movie/TV requests (including 4K and specific seasons), and monitor/request status via the Overseerr API.

Key Advantages

1.Direct integration with the stable Overseerr project (not the Seerr beta), ensuring compatibility with most existing deployments.
2.Simple environment-variable configuration using OVERSEERR_URL and OVERSEERR_API_KEY for secure, local/self-hosted setups.
3.Covers the core Overseerr workflows: search, create requests (movie/TV/4K/specific seasons), and check status by filters or ID.
4.Includes a basic monitoring/polling script to track request state changes over time without needing webhooks.
5.Uses X-Api-Key authentication, aligning with Overseerr’s native API mechanisms.

Use Cases

  • Let users search for movies or TV shows in their Overseerr instance directly from a chat or automation workflow.
  • Allow users to create movie requests, TV requests, and 4K requests without opening the Overseerr web UI.
  • Enable requesting specific TV seasons (e.g., seasons 1 and 2 only) in a conversational or automated flow.
  • Provide an at-a-glance list of pending or processing requests for quick library management oversight.
  • Monitor request status via polling in environments where Overseerr webhooks are not configured or not desired.

**Judgement:** A solid, focused integration for self-hosted Overseerr users that covers the main workflows (search, request, status/monitoring) with relatively low complexity and good fit for homelab/media-server setups. **What it does well:** - Connects to the **stable Overseerr** project (not the Seerr rewrite), matching what most existing users run. - Supports the key actions: searching titles, requesting movies/TV (including 4K and specific seasons), and listing/inspecting requests by filters or ID. - Configuration is straightforward: just `OVERSEERR_URL` and `OVERSEERR_API_KEY` via environment variables. - Polling-based monitoring gives a simple way to track request progress without requiring webhook setup. **Limitations / Risks:** - Functionality appears limited to core flows; there’s no visible support for more advanced actions like editing/canceling requests, handling profiles, or fine-grained Overseerr settings. - Relies on polling for monitoring, which can add minor load to Overseerr if used with very short intervals. - Assumes a correctly configured local/self-hosted Overseerr with a valid API key; misconfiguration or permission issues aren’t clearly handled in the snippet. - Potential for abuse (e.g., spamming many requests) if access is given to untrusted users, though this is a typical risk for any request-creation integration. **Best fit / recommended scenarios:** - Users running a Plex/Overseerr-based **homelab or media server** who want to request content conversationally or via automation. - Setups where a chat assistant or bot should be able to **search the Overseerr catalog and submit requests** without giving users full UI access. - Environments where **simple polling** is acceptable to keep tabs on pending/processing requests (e.g., small personal servers, low-traffic setups).
