Per-source notes for the BY integration. For conventions, see docs/sources/README.md; for third-party payload rules, see the Third-Party Source Work section of AGENTS.md.

  • Module: quasarr/search/sources/by.py
  • Categories: Books, Movies, Shows, Audio
  • Style: HTML scrape via BeautifulSoup
  • Capabilities: supports_imdb=True, supports_phrase=True, requires_login=False
  • Session: plain requests

Download

  • Module: quasarr/downloads/sources/by.py
  • Inherits: AbstractDownloadSource
  • Link protection: none — the download module fetches direct links from the post and applies its own per-hostname mirror filter

Notable quirks

  • Book/magazine titles run through Magazarr-compatible date and issue normalization before being emitted.
  • Search results that lack a valid resolution or codec are dropped; feed results keep their original metadata.
  • Per-category fetches use category IDs that are defined as constants inside the search module; treat those constants as the source of truth, not example payloads.
