Hi,

I've been using SABnzbd for as long as I can remember - 13 years at least, but over the past few months, my indexer's "Send to SAB" function hasn't worked.

The only way at the moment that I can download, is by adding items to my indexers cart, then having SABnzbd poll the RSS feed regularly.

The thing is, from the outside world, I can successfully browse to http://<my address>:8080/sabnzbd and get the login page, so port forwarding on my router seems to be working ok.

I'd be grateful for additional sugestions on troubleshooting.

Thank you

Yes, the easier and safer way. So why don't you want that?

So ... what do see in your GUI? Do you see the indexer trying to access you? If not: anything in sabnzbd.log (set to +DEBUG)?

For example:

GUI

Code: Select all

API key incorrect, Use the API key from Config->General in your 3rd party program: ::ffff:1.25.45.236 [curl/8.14.1]

sabnzbd.log, set to +DEBUG:

Code: Select all

2026-02-27 19:39:15,758::DEBUG::[interface:144] Request GET /api from ::ffff:1.75.45.236 [curl/8.14.1] {'output': 'json', 'apikey': 'blablabla'}
2026-02-27 19:39:15,759::WARNING::[interface:414] API key incorrect, Use the API key from Config->General in your 3rd party program: ::ffff:1.75.45.236 [curl/8.14.1]
