Response structure (common fields)

• id: internal torrent id
• name: torrent title
• size: file or total size (bytes or human-readable)
• seeders: number of seeders
• leechers: number of leechers
• added: upload date/time (ISO 8601)
• category: category name/id
• magnet: magnet URI (string)
• files: array of file objects name, size (may be omitted)

The Legality

• Your Location: In the US, UK, Germany (and most of Western Europe), accessing torrent sites that distribute copyrighted material is legally risky. An API request is still a request for a copyrighted hash.
• Automation is Aggravation: Using an automated tool (API) versus a web browser implies intent. If a copyright troll monitors TGx’s network traffic, API calls stand out.
• Logging: Torrentgalaxy logs IP addresses. While they may not share logs willingly, if the domain is seized by law enforcement (e.g., Operation Creative), your IP history becomes evidence.

You have just used a Torrentgalaxy API. It is just wrapped in Jackett. Response structure (common fields)

Typical request parameters

• q: search query (string)
• category: category id or name (movies, tv, apps, etc.)
• page: page number (integer)
• sort: criteria ( relevance | seeders | leechers | date )
• limit: results per page

3. DOM Parsing

Unlike an API that returns JSON, TGx returns messy HTML. You need to parse torrent tables, extract magnet links from inside onclick attributes, and decode encoded titles.

• Solution: Use BeautifulSoup (Python) or Cheerio (Node.js). You will spend 80% of your time fixing broken selectors every time TGx updates its theme.

Part 3: The Correct Way to Access Torrentgalaxy Programmatically (Jackett & Prowlarr)

If you need to query Torrentgalaxy from an application (like Sonarr or a custom Python script), you should never try to call the site directly. Instead, you use an API abstraction layer.

1. The Search API (JSON)

This is the heavy lifter. You can send GET requests to fetch structured data.

• Endpoint: /torrents-api.php
• Parameters: search (keyword), category, limit, and page.
• Output: Clean JSON containing torrent_id, name, size, seeders, leechers, and the all-important magnet link.
