2. The RSS Feed (XML)

Perfect for automating downloads in qBittorrent or Sonarr/Radarr (though Jackett/Prowlarr is usually better for that).

Part 6: Alternative Torrent APIs (When TGx Fails)

Torrentgalaxy is reliable, but not infallible. If the site is down or you cannot get an API response, here are fallback indexers with better (actual) API support: Torrentgalaxy Api -

| Indexer | API Type | Ease of Use | Reliability | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1337x | Unofficial (via Jackett) | Moderate | High | | Nyaa.si (Anime) | Official REST API (/api) | Very Easy | Excellent | | SolidTorrents | Open API (Torrents JSON) | Easy | Low (Low seeds) | | BT4G | REST API | Easy | Moderate | | Knaben (Meta-search) | Official API (requires key) | Moderate | High |

For Linux ISOs and open-source software, use Legit Torrents or Linuxtracker, which often provide direct RSS feeds (a form of API). Disclaimer: TorrentGalaxy operates in a legal gray area

Example: Using Jackett’s TGx API in Python

Once you have Jackett running, interacting with TGx becomes trivial:

import requests

JACKETT_URL = "http://localhost:9117"
API_KEY = "your_jackett_api_key"
INDEXER_ID = "torrentgalaxy"  # The ID Jackett gives to TGx Endpoint:   /rss/latest


3. DOM Parsing


Unlike an API that returns JSON, TGx returns messy HTML. You need to parse torrent tables, extract magnet links from inside onclick attributes, and decode encoded titles.


    

  • Solution: Use BeautifulSoup (Python) or Cheerio (Node.js). You will spend 80% of your time fixing broken selectors every time TGx updates its theme.
    • 



2. Current State (2024-2025)


    

  • No Official API Documentation: TGx developers have not released an official Swagger/OpenAPI spec.
    • 

  • Community-Driven: The "API" is a collection of PHP endpoints used internally by the website’s search, AJAX pagination, and RSS generators.
    • 

  • Rate Limiting: Aggressive (approx. 1 request per 2-3 seconds). TGx actively bans IPs for high-frequency scraping.
    • 



3.4 Comment/Forum API (Unofficial)


POST https://torrentgalaxy.to/ajax.php


    

  • Requires session cookies (logged-in user).
    • 

  • Action: add_comment, vote_torrent.
    • 

  • Very fragile – structure changes often.
    • 



Common endpoints (typical)


    

  • /search — query torrents (parameters: q, category, page, sort)
    •

    • 

  • /recent — list latest uploads
    • 

  • /top — trending or top torrents
    • 

  • /category/cat — browse by category
    • 

  • /magnet/id or magnet link in torrent object — magnet URI for downloading
    •
