This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic - removing the burden from other apps. + +So basically, we are going to use Jackett to **search for torrents**, so we can add them to [qBittorrent](/config/qbittorrent) later on. + +## Initial configuration + +In your browser, go to [http://{your-ip-address}:9117/]() and you'll see the empty Jackett screen. + +[](/pics/jackett-1.webp) + +Here, you can add as many indexers as you need. To add indexers, click on "Add indexer": + +[](/pics/jackett-2.webp) + +For this example, I'm going to add 2 indexers: YTS (for movies) and eztv (for tv shows). To look for an indexer, just type its name on the search box and click on the big ➕ sign + +[](/pics/jackett-3.webp) + +In the end, you should have a screen like this: + +[](/pics/jackett-4.webp) + +## Don't forget to grab your API Key! + +You'll need the API Key later.
