Indexers

Indexers are the search sources Narratorr queries to find audiobook releases. You can configure multiple indexers — Narratorr searches them all simultaneously and combines the results.

Go to Settings > Indexers to add, edit, or remove indexers.

Prowlarr Import (Recommended)

If you already use Prowlarr to manage your indexers, you can import them into Narratorr in one step instead of configuring each one manually.

1. In Settings > Indexers, click the Prowlarr Import button
2. Enter your Prowlarr URL (e.g., http://prowlarr:9696) and API key
3. Click Test to verify the connection
4. Narratorr shows a preview of what will change:
   • New — indexers in Prowlarr that don’t exist in Narratorr yet
   • Updated — indexers that exist in both but have different settings
   • Unchanged — indexers that already match
   • Removed — indexers in Narratorr that no longer exist in Prowlarr
5. Select the changes you want to apply and click Import

Tip

Prowlarr import pulls Torznab and Newznab indexers. You can re-run the import anytime to sync changes from Prowlarr.

AudioBookBay (ABB)

A website scraper that searches AudioBookBay directly for torrent/magnet links.

Field	Description
Hostname	AudioBookBay domain (changes frequently due to domain rotation)
Page Limit	Maximum number of search result pages to scrape
FlareSolverr URL	Optional. Required if Cloudflare blocks direct access. See Troubleshooting.

Caution

AudioBookBay is protected by Cloudflare and breaks frequently. For more reliable access, use AudioBookBay through Jackett or Prowlarr as a Torznab indexer instead of the direct scraper.

Torznab

The standard API for torrent indexers, supported by Jackett, Prowlarr, and many private trackers.

Field	Description
API URL	The Torznab API endpoint (e.g., http://jackett:9117/api/v2.0/indexers/mam/results/torznab/)
API Key	Authentication key from your indexer or Jackett/Prowlarr
FlareSolverr URL	Optional. Only needed if the indexer requires Cloudflare bypass.

Finding Your Torznab URL

Jackett

1. Open Jackett’s UI
2. Find your indexer and click the Copy Torznab Feed button
3. The URL includes the API key as a query parameter

Prowlarr

1. Open Prowlarr > Settings > Indexers
2. Click your indexer
3. Copy the Torznab URL from the indexer details
4. The API key is in Prowlarr > Settings > General

Torznab is the recommended approach for private trackers like MyAnonamouse (MAM).

Newznab

The standard API for Usenet indexers (NZBgeek, DogNZB, etc.).

Field	Description
API URL	The Newznab API endpoint (e.g., https://api.nzbgeek.info)
API Key	Your indexer’s API key, found in your account settings
FlareSolverr URL	Optional. Only needed if the indexer requires Cloudflare bypass.

Testing Indexers

After adding an indexer, always click Test to verify:

• The URL is reachable
• The API key is valid
• Results come back for a sample query

If the test fails, see Troubleshooting > Indexer test fails.
