- url https://nzbscout.com/
- free tier: Reported as 'Completely free with no usage limits'. The home page lists NZBs with size, file count, newsgroup and post date and has trending lists; no counter is published. | unit: unlimited | metered on: none | read on: 2026-11-03 | source: [1] | note: Not exercised: a direct request timed out on the read date, so no search or NZB download was run.
- per-object cap: not applicable: an NZB pointer file, never the payload | source: [2]
- retention: A third-party listing claims 'files available dating back approximately 10 years'. The home page lists posts dated between 2013 and 2021. | source: [1] | note: reported
- egress: No byte metering; the answer is an NZB pointer file. | metered: no | source: [2]
- identity: email | detail: unverified: a third-party listing says 'Open registration' and 'Completely free'; the register page returned no readable content and the home page shows no login field in the text read.
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - request-rate: reported: no usage limits; none published on the pages read [1]
- binding note: No numeric limit is named by any source read.
- interface detail: Web search and download pages; no API was described on the pages read.
- endpoint: https://nzbscout.com/
- tooling: No Newznab API was found on the pages read, so Prowlarr and NZBHydra2 may not add it; a wrapper would parse the pages. That is a tooling note, not a verdict.
- composes with: A fallback for older releases; the newest post dates on the home page are from 2021, so it does not replace a current indexer.
- reliability: A direct request timed out; the home page text was read from another route.
- evidence note: The free claim and the registration claim are third-party; the home page text is first-party and shows the post dates. No search or download was run.
