YggTorrent Indexer Cookie Expiring Too Frequently in Prowlarr

[Tysc0]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

When using YggTorrent as an indexer in Prowlarr, the authentication cookie expires every 24–48 hours. Once expired, Prowlarr can no longer fetch results, and the indexer becomes non-functional until I manually update the cookie.

This constant renewal makes the indexer difficult to rely on long-term.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like a more stable and persistent authentication method for YggTorrent in Prowlarr. Ideally, this would mean:

Automatically handling the login and session renewal process,

Or using a long-lasting token or credential that doesn’t expire so frequently.

This would make YggTorrent integration much more user-friendly and reliable.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually updating the cookie every couple of days (unsustainable).

Using a browser automation script to extract the new cookie and inject it into Prowlarr via API (fragile and complex).

Switching to another indexer (but YggTorrent is an important French-language tracker).

Anything else?

Anything else?
This is a known behavior of YggTorrent, which rotates session cookies frequently.

Possibly allowing username/password-based login (if feasible) would be a more stable alternative.

Any workaround or semi-automated solution would be appreciated.

Thanks for your work on Prowlarr—hoping this can be improved to make YggTorrent more usable long-term!

YggTorrent with credentials already exists.
