FAQPage Schema
How do I automate adding movies to Radarr via API instead of manual entry?

You can automate adding movies to Radarr by making REST calls to the /api/v3 endpoints. This enables programmatic search by title, adding individual movies or collections, and automatic monitoring without manual web UI interaction.

What credentials do I need to configure before managing Radarr movies programmatically?

Managing Radarr movies programmatically requires a reachable Radarr server exposing API v3 endpoints. You must store RADARR_URL and RADARR_API_KEY credentials in a specific environment file for authentication.

Can I remove movies from Radarr and delete the downloaded files at the same time?

Yes, you can remove movies from Radarr via the API with optional file deletion. This allows you to clean up your library by removing both the metadata record and the associated media files simultaneously.

How do I check if a movie already exists in my Radarr library before adding it?

You can check for existing titles in Radarr by querying the API before adding. This prevents duplicate entries by verifying whether a movie is already present in your collection prior to submission.

Does this Radarr API approach support adding entire movie collections or just individual titles?

The Radarr API approach supports adding both individual movies and entire collections. It leverages TMDB data to resolve collection metadata and applies automatic search and monitoring to the requested items.

What shell dependencies are required to run Radarr API automation scripts?

Running Radarr API automation scripts requires curl, jq, and sed as dependencies. These tools handle the REST requests, JSON parsing, and text manipulation needed to interact with the Radarr API endpoints.
