# Connect Sportarr

Add Sportarr to Kochab with your API key and default port 7979.

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

Sportarr is a Sonarr fork for sports. Kochab uses its API directly (leagues, seasons, games) for library, search, calendar, and the download queue.

## What Kochab exposes through Sportarr

- **Blended tabs:** Search, Library, Calendar/Wanted, and Sportarr grabs in Downloads
- **Push:** grab, import and health notifications. Kochab registers the webhook in Sportarr for you when you add the service.
- **Control screen:** health, disk, commands, read-only profiles
- **Detail pages:** native league/season/game screens, not the shared Servarr series detail (no TV-style episode numbering)

## Not exposed through Sportarr

Full Sportarr admin stays in Sportarr's web UI. Container control requires a separate host entry if needed.

## Before you start

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

## Default connection

| Field | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Port | **7979** |
| 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 **Sportarr**.
2. Enter your **host**.
3. Set port **7979** unless you use a custom port or proxy.
4. Paste the **API key**.
5. If Sportarr sits behind a reverse proxy with a subpath, set **Base path** to match Sportarr's URL base.
6. Tap **Test and add**.
