It is already in jackett but when dynamic ip changes can't re-login automatically. Today they enabled their API. URL of API: https://hellashut.net/getapi.php

While we're always happy to use an API over site scraping, it doesn't look like there's a way to download using the API, so we'd still have to log in with credentials.

Also, as far as I'm aware that bencoding is going to be an absolute pain, we'd have to convert it to a pseudo-JSON output to actually use it. Ideally they (you?) would either change it completely, or have an optional search parameter like &output=json.

If those two sticking points can be resolved, it would be a lot more useful.

I am the one of the three coders.
It gives results only in BEncode format.
It is still in development and it is still not finished. That's why the code hasn't been published yet.

Edit:
I can help by building a BEncode parser for jackett if you give me some explainations on the way it works.

At this point would be easier to switch to C#.

Weird seeing a REST API returning with BEncode.
