# Connect Bazarr

Add Bazarr to Kochab with your API key and default port 6767.

Canonical: https://kochab.io/docs/services/bazarr/

Bazarr manages subtitles for Sonarr and Radarr. Kochab uses its API for subtitle coverage and wanted-subtitle actions.

## What Kochab exposes through Bazarr

- **Control screen:** languages, provider health, wanted subtitle backlog with search actions
- **Library badges:** subtitle language coverage on Sonarr/Radarr titles when Bazarr is connected

## Not exposed through Bazarr

Bazarr does not replace Sonarr/Radarr in Library or Downloads. Provider setup, scoring, and deep subtitle settings stay in Bazarr's web UI.

## Before you start

In Bazarr: **Settings -> General -> Security -> API Key**. Copy the key shown there.

## Default connection

| Field | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Port | **6767** |
| Scheme | `http` on LAN, `https` behind a reverse proxy |
| Auth | API key in the `X-Api-Key` header |

## Add in Kochab

1. Open **Services -> Add service** and choose **Bazarr**.
2. Enter your **host**.
3. Set port **6767** unless you use a custom port or proxy.
4. Paste the **API key**.
5. Tap **Test and add**.
