node-torrents-search

Node module used to search torrents on private trackers websites.

Currently supported trackers

• 1337x
• Torrent9
• TorrentLeech
• Cpasbien
• t411
• FrenchTorrentDB

You can easily add new trackers by creating a file in lib/trackers.

Install

npm install torrents-search

Usage

const TorrentsSearch = require('..');
const extend = require('extend');

// Custom logger
const myLogger = {
  info: function(msg) {
    console.log(msg);
  },

  error: function(msg) {
    console.error(msg);
  }
};

const search = new TorrentsSearch({
  logger: myLogger, // Optional
  timeout: 100000 // Optional
});

search.loadTrackers()
  .then(() => {
    // Display all loaded trackers
    console.log('Loaded trackers :', search.getTrackers());

    // Enable trackers
    search.enableTracker('Torrent9');
    search.enableTracker('1337x');

    search.enableTracker('TorrentLeech');
    search.setCredentials('TorrentLeech', 'USERNAME', 'PASSWORD');
  })
  .then(() => {
    // Search torrents on all enabled trackers
    return search.search('SEARCH_QUERY', {type: 'movies'});
  })
  .then((torrents) => {
    console.log(torrents.length +' torrent(s) found.');

    if(torrents.length === 0) {
      return null;
    }

    torrents.forEach((torrent) => {
      const t = extend(true, {}, torrent);
      delete t._tracker;

      console.log(t);
    });

    console.log('Downloading first torrent ('+ torrents[0].name +' from '+ torrents[0].tracker +') :');
    return search.download(torrents[0]);
  })
  .then((torrentFileBuffer) => {
    if(torrentFileBuffer) {
      console.log(torrentFileBuffer);
    }
  }).catch((reason) => {
    console.error('An error occured:');
    console.error(reason);
  });

Options

• logger This let you define a custom logger. It should have two methods : info and error. If you just want to log errors, just create an empty info method. Default is an empty logger that will do nothing.
• timeout Define the desired timeout (milliseconds) for requests sent to trackers. Default is 10000 (10s). This is a way to protect us from slow trackers who can block others.

Events

• on('trackers:loaded', function(trackers) {})

  When trackers are loaded.

• on('tracker:enabled', function(tracker) {})

  When a tracker is enabled.

• on('tracker:disabled', function(tracker) {})

  When a tracker is disabled.

• on('tracker:loginSuccess', function(tracker) {})

  When a login is successfull on a tracker.

• on('tracker:torrentsFound', function(torrents, tracker) {})

  When torrents are found on a tracker.

• on('tracker:torrentsSearchError', function(error, tracker) {})

  When an error occurs during torrents search on a tracker.

• on('tracker:torrentsSearchError', function(error, tracker) {})

  When an error occurs during torrents search on a tracker.

API

Here is the list of all available methods of the module.

• loadTrackers()

  Load all the trackers in the lib/trackers folder. You need to call this before calling any other method. All trackers loaded are disabled by default if they need authentification, or enabled if not.

  It returns a promise.

• enableTracker(trackerName)

  Enable the specified tracker.

  Returns a boolean indicating if the operation succeeded or not.

• disableTracker(trackerName)

  Disable the specified tracker.

  Returns a boolean indicating if the operation succeeded or not.

• setCredentials(trackerName, username, password)

  Set the username/password used for the tracker.

• login()

  Login on all enabled trackers. This is automatically done when using a method requiring login (search, download).

  It returns a promise.

• search(query, options, callback)

  Search the specified query on all enabled trackers.

  Options is an object with the following properties :

  • type : movie or tvshow

  It returns a promise with an array of Torrent objects if resolved.

  It returns a promise with an the file buffer of the .torrent if resolved.
