What is Requestrr?

Requestrr is a Discord chatbot that brings media requests into your existing Discord server. Instead of users opening a separate web portal, they type a simple Discord command (!movie, !show) and Requestrr searches, displays results, and routes approved requests to your Sonarr, Radarr, Seerr, or Ombi backend.

Features

• 💬 Discord-native requests — !movie and !show commands with interactive search results
• 🔄 Multi-backend routing — sends requests to Sonarr, Radarr, Overseerr, or Ombi based on content type
• 👤 Per-user permissions — Discord role-based request quotas and approval workflows
• 🔔 Status notifications — replies to the user when their request is approved, downloaded, and ready
• 📋 Request queue — track pending and recent requests via Discord commands
• 🎯 Quality profile selection — let users choose between HD/4K profiles where allowed

Requestrr in Your Media Stack

• 📺 Sonarr / Radarr — direct request routing for TV shows and movies
• 🎬 Seerr / Ombi — alternative request portal frontends Requestrr can route to
• 🔔 Notifiarr — pair with Notifiarr for richer Discord notifications on the same server

Why ElfHosted?

Setting up Requestrr means creating a Discord bot in Discord's developer portal, generating a bot token, configuring OAuth2 redirects, inviting the bot to your server with the right permissions, then editing Requestrr's JSON config with API keys for every arr app you want to integrate. The first-time setup hits at least four moving parts (Discord developer portal, bot permissions, JSON config, arr API keys) and any one wrong setting silently breaks the bot. ElfHosted's Requestrr is pre-wired to your arr stack — you only need the Discord bot token and channel mappings.

• 🔗 Pre-wired to your arr stack — no API key configuration
• 📝 No JSON config to edit — your only setup is the Discord bot token
• 🚀 No Docker setup — runs alongside your media stack

FAQ

Should I use Requestrr or Seerr?
Both. Seerr is a request portal (web UI). Requestrr is a Discord bot. They serve different audiences — power users prefer Discord, casual users prefer the web UI. Many setups run both.

Do I need a Discord server admin to set this up?
You need server admin permissions to add the bot. Once added, per-user request permissions are configured by Discord role.
