Connect Prowlarr
Add Prowlarr to Kochab with your API key and default port 9696.
Prowlarr is an indexer manager. Kochab uses its API for indexer health, sync status, and meta-search.
What Kochab exposes through Prowlarr
- Control screen: version, indexer list with per-row test, app sync status
- Search: meta-search across configured indexers (AppBar action)
- Push: indexer-failing alerts when configured
Not exposed through Prowlarr
Full indexer editor (caps, categories, FlareSolverr wiring) stays in Prowlarr’s web UI. Prowlarr does not appear in Library or Calendar; it feeds indexers to your *arr apps.
Before you start
In Prowlarr: Settings -> General -> Security -> API Key. Copy the key shown there.
