Instead of opening Overseerr to see where things stand, ask: which films are still waiting on approval, which shows just became available, and is the server even responding.
A Python server over the Overseerr API, the request front end that sits in front of a Plex or Jellyfin library. Three tools: server status, movie requests and TV requests, the last two filterable by the state you care about.
- overseerr_movie_requests returns movie requests matching your filters — still pending, already available, requested in a date range
- overseerr_tv_requests does the same for TV show requests
- overseerr_status reports whether the Overseerr server is up
A running Overseerr instance and an API key from Settings → General. The server takes that key and your Overseerr URL from the client config or a .env file. The install path is a local checkout: clone the repository and have your client launch it with uv from that directory.
