yes, but my question is specifically about ‘sources’. Saying “public trackers” is like asking how to get to a supermarket and answering “use the roads”. Also a lot of public tracker sites do not have a API readily availble, hence my question.

In the end I learned about prowlarr and jackett, which is the piece I was missing.

Thank you. I’ll give it a try

honestly. why did you even bother writing this answer? if you think my question is dumb just ignore it.
