torrfetch 0.1.3

A Python package to fetch torrent metadata from multiple sources

torrfetch

torrfetch is a Python package that lets you search torrents across multiple public torrent indexers with deduplication and relevance sorting. Designed for developers building CLI tools or automation scripts around torrent discovery.

Features

• Search multiple torrent providers in parallel or fallback mode
• Automatic deduplication of results
• Smart scoring by title relevance and seeders
• Fast and extensible provider interface

Providers

Currently supports:

• The Pirate Bay
• yts

Installation

pip install torrfetch

Usage

Parallel mode (default)

All providers are queried simultaneously, and the output is ranked by relevance and seeders

torrfetch.search("oppenheimer 2023 1080p", mode="parallel")

Fallback mode

Queries providers one by one, proceeding to the next if the current one is down or returns no results

torrfetch.search("oppenheimer", mode="fallback")

Restrict to specific providers

Use only to limit the search to a subset of sources (e.g., just YTS or YTS and Piratebay):

torrfetch.search("oppenheimer", only=["yts"])

Sample data returned

The first 30 results are returned, sorted by a combination of relevance and seeders:
