Automated Torrent Search and Download Notification Workflow
This workflow implements an automated movie seed search and download notification feature. After users submit a movie title request via Webhook, the system searches for relevant seeds on the KickassTorrents and Rarbg platforms and automatically downloads them using the Transmission client. Even if the Session ID becomes invalid, the system can automatically refresh and retry the download. Meanwhile, users receive real-time download status notifications through a Telegram bot, ensuring that the entire process is efficient and transparent, greatly enhancing the convenience of managing film and television resources.
Workflow Name
Automated Torrent Search and Download Notification Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow enables automatic reception of movie title requests via Webhook, performs torrent searches on two major platforms—KickassTorrents and Rarbg—and initiates downloads through the Transmission client upon finding relevant torrents. It intelligently determines whether a torrent exists and handles download failures caused by expired Transmission Session IDs by automatically refreshing the Session ID and retrying the download. Regardless of success or failure, users receive instant notifications via a Telegram bot, ensuring a transparent and efficient process.
