Overseerr Requests

Choose Overseerr when you want Agregarr to create requests instead of sending items straight to Radarr/Sonarr. Either manual or auto approve can be used.

Prerequisites​

  1. Configure Overseerr under Settings → Sources → Overseerr with at minimum, hostname, port, and API key.
  2. Select Service User Settings to decide whether Agregarr creates a dedicated Overseerr user once, per source or per collection.

Use the Test Connection buttons to confirm everything works before saving.

Enable Overseerr per collection​

  1. Open the collection you want to automate.
  2. Toggle Grab Missing Items.
  3. Adjust any filters (position, year, genres, countries, season limits) as needed.
  4. Set Download Mode to Overseerr.
  5. Choose whether to auto-approve movies, TV, or both.

What happens during sync​

  • Agregarr compares the collection list with your Plex libraries.
  • Missing items that pass your filters are turned into Overseerr requests.
  • Requests follow your auto-approval settings: approved items go straight to Radarr/Sonarr through Overseerr, others wait for manual approval.
  • Once Radarr/Sonarr finishes downloading and Plex sees the new media, on the next sync the item will be added to the collection.

Request Attribution​

Set the identification strategy in Settings → Downloads → Source Identification:

| Strategy | Overseerr user | | --- | --- | --- | | Single | Agregarr | | Per Source | IMDbAgregarr, TraktAgregarr, … | | Per Collection | IMDbTop250Agregarr, … |

Agregarr creates or reuses these user accounts when it submits requests, and can reuse the same account for mixed manual and auto approve requests.
