## What it is
NZBHydra 2 is a self-hosted meta search application that aggregates results from newznab indexers and torznab trackers, merging, filtering, and deduplicating them in a single web UI. It exposes newznab/torznab-compatible API endpoints so tools like Sonarr, Radarr, and NZBGet can use it as a unified indexer source.

## Use cases
- search multiple usenet indexers from one place
- aggregate newznab and torznab results for sonarr and radarr
- self-hosted indexer aggregator for usenet automation
- merge multiple torznab trackers into one endpoint
- track usenet download history and indexer stats
- send nzb results to sabnzbd or nzbget
- replace prowlarr for usenet indexers

## When to choose
- you use several usenet indexers and want one unified search and API endpoint
- you run *arr tools and want to consolidate indexer sources
- you want search history, stats, and duplicate detection across indexers

## When to avoid
- you are new to usenet and its automation ecosystem and want something simple
- you only use a single indexer and don't need aggregation
- you only need torrent indexing without usenet support
