Torrust Hash2Torrent

A web service to get torrents' metadata from the infohashes.

The API is based on the Rust BitTorrent client rqbit. The client uses BEP 9 to get the Metadata Files from other peers.

NOTICE: DHT must be enabled because the client needs to find peers first.

Live demo: https://hash2torrent.com/

Setup

sudo ./contrib/dev-tools/init/install.sh $(id -u)
cargo run

With Docker

Building the image from sources:

sudo ./contrib/dev-tools/init/install.sh $(id -u)
./contrib/dev-tools/containers/docker-build.sh
./contrib/dev-tools/containers/docker-run.sh

Usage

Download the torrent with curl:

curl -o ./ubuntu-23.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent http://127.0.0.1:3000/torrents/443c7602b4fde83d1154d6d9da48808418b181b6

Or with the browser:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/torrents/443c7602b4fde83d1154d6d9da48808418b181b6

NOTICE: The BitTorrent client may not find the torrent and the HTTP could return a 408 (timeout) error after 10

You can check the API with the health_check endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3000/health_check
