Cardigann: Open-Source Web Scraper for Torrent Files

An open-source web scraper designed specifically for indexing and searching torrent files from various public torrent sites, acting as a proxy between users and torrent sites.

What is Cardigann?

Cardigann is an open-source web scraper application developed specifically for easily finding and downloading torrent files from various public torrent sites. It serves as an intermediary layer between the user and torrent search engines and indexes, enabling searching, browsing, and downloading of torrents without having to actually visit the torrent sites themselves.

Some of the key features offered by Cardigann include:

• Unified search across dozens of popular public torrent sites and trackers
• A clean and simple web UI for searching torrents and previewing results
• Automated scraping and indexing of new torrents from supported sites
• Downloading of .torrent files directly through Cardigann instead of having to go to original torrent sites
• Support for RSS feeds for new torrent releases matching user-defined filters
• REST API access to all data indexed by Cardigann

By acting as an aggregator and proxy for torrent sites, Cardigann aims to improve the torrenting experience and access to content in a simplified manner while avoiding some of the advertising, popups and clutter often found on torrent sites themselves. The project is open-source and extensible to include more torrent sites over time.
