Statistarr

A simple Python script to track failed and successful grabs per indexer. Currently works with Sonarr and Radarr only.

---

🧐 Why?

Prowlarr doesn’t track failed grabs, and when you remove movies or shows from Radarr/Sonarr, their associated stats vanish too.
Statistarr solves that by:

• Fetching your history via the API
• Logging grab stats per indexer
• Saving it to a persistent JSON file

Note

Stats may be inaccurate at first, not because the script starts fresh, but because Radarr and Sonarr delete history data for any shows or movies you’ve removed. Once something is gone, so is its history — meaning the script has nothing to track for it. Let the script run continuously from now on, and over time you'll build a more complete picture of how each indexer performs.

⚙️ How does it work?

Honestly? It’s a messy little script mostly written by ChatGPT.
It:

1. Calls the v3/history API
2. Filters and processes events
3. Notes the latest event date
4. Saves stats in a JSON file
5. Merges new stats with older ones (so historical data isn’t lost)

First-time run might take a while depending on how big your history is.
It's not perfect—bugs may exist. Feel free to open an issue if something breaks.

🧰 Setup

Requirements

• Python 3 (tested on 3.13.3)
• pip
• Install dependencies:

pip install requests quickchart.io pyinstaller pystray apscheduler psutil

Tip

Keep all script files in one separate directory for smoother execution.

Moving ahead:

1. Download all the files from script folder.
2. Rename config.json.example to config.json.
3. Fill in your API details inside config.json.

(Optional) To redact specific indexer names for public sharing, edit the json accordingly:

{
    "Statistarr":  ...,
    "Quickchart": {
        "redacted": ["Indexer_name", ...]
    }
}

4. Build executables using pyinstaller or download pre-built executables (Windows only) from Releases page:

Pre-built executables have been created in github actions.

pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole fetcher.py
pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole tray.py

5. Get the executables from dist and place them back in parent folder. Clean up extra files from pyinstaller.

Important

PyInstaller executables may trigger false positives in antivirus tools or VirusTotal. This is a known issue and not unique to this project.

6. Run tray.exe (or whatever executable you end up with)
   
   

Expected directory structure:

Statistarr/
|- cchart.py
|- config.json
|- fetcher.exe
|- fetcher.py (optional, helpful for debugging code yourself)
|- icon.ico
|- statistarr.py
|- tray.exe
|- tray.py (optional, helpful for debugging code yourself)
|- backup/ (created later by app)
|- error.log (created later by app)
|- Stats *.json (created later by app)
|- untracked.log (created later by app)

Tip

Add tray.exe to startup app.

🛠 Script Overview

• statistarr.py – Prints readable output to the terminal.
• fetcher.py – Runs quietly in the background (when used as an app) to fetch history and create JSON dump.
• cchart.py – Uses QuickChart.io to display your collected stats in a simple graph or chart.
• tray.py – Creates tray icon.

Note

Failure Rate = Failed Grabs ÷ (Successful Grabs + Failed Grabs)

🤷 The Code is Bad?

You're probably right.
I’m just a biotech student fiddling around—this isn’t meant to be elegant or production-grade. But hey, if it helps you track bad indexers, mission accomplished.
