API: Add new show, fetch future episodes only

Help & Support
1

Hi, I’m sure this has been asked before but I cannot seem to find what i need.

I am trying to use the API to add a new show but I don’t want any past episodes to be monitored, only future episodes. I can do this from the web interface but the API doesn’t seem to allow this.

Is there any way to do this with the API? Currently I can only set entire seasons to monitor true or false, but then if the last season is still airing it won’t add new episodes.

TIA

The docs haven’t been updated yet, but you need to use the addOptions and set ignoreEpisodesWithFiles and ignoreEpisodesWithoutFiles both to true.

The JSON would look like this:

"addOptions":
{
  "ignoreEpisodesWithFiles": true,
  "ignoreEpisodesWithoutFiles": true
}

Excellent. Thanks, I’ll test that out.
