SDK Installation

NuGet

To add the NuGet package to a .NET project:

dotnet add package LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK

Locally

To add a reference to a local instance of the SDK in a .NET project:

dotnet add reference LukeHagar/PlexAPI/SDK/LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.csproj

SDK Example Usage

Example

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components;

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    accessToken: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
    clientID: "3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58",
    clientName: "Plex for Roku",
    clientVersion: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    deviceNickname: "Roku 3"
);

var res = await sdk.Server.GetServerCapabilitiesAsync();

// handle response

Available Resources and Operations

Available methods

Server Selection

Server Variables

The default server {protocol}://{ip}:{port} contains variables and is set to https://10.10.10.47:32400 by default. To override default values, the following parameters are available when initializing the SDK client instance:

  • protocol: ServerProtocol
  • ip: string
  • port: string

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverUrl: string optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components;

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    serverUrl: "https://10.10.10.47:32400",
    accessToken: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
    clientID: "3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58",
    clientName: "Plex for Roku",
    clientVersion: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    deviceNickname: "Roku 3"
);

var res = await sdk.Server.GetServerCapabilitiesAsync();

// handle response

Override Server URL Per-Operation

The server URL can also be overridden on a per-operation basis, provided a server list was specified for the operation. For example:

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components;

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    accessToken: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
    clientID: "3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58",
    clientName: "Plex for Roku",
    clientVersion: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    deviceNickname: "Roku 3"
);

var res = await sdk.Plex.GetCompanionsDataAsync(serverUrl: "https://plex.tv/api/v2");

// handle response

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name Type Scheme
AccessToken apiKey API key

To authenticate with the API the AccessToken parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components;

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    accessToken: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
    clientID: "3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58",
    clientName: "Plex for Roku",
    clientVersion: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    deviceNickname: "Roku 3"
);

var res = await sdk.Server.GetServerCapabilitiesAsync();

// handle response

Error Handling

Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or throw an exception.

By default, an API error will raise a LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.SDKException exception, which has the following properties:

Property Type Description
Message string The error message
StatusCode int The HTTP status code
RawResponse HttpResponseMessage The raw HTTP response
Body string The response content

When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also throw their associated exceptions. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the GetServerCapabilitiesAsync method throws the following exceptions:

Error Type Status Code Content Type
LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest 400 application/json
LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized 401 application/json
LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.SDKException 4XX, 5XX */*

Example

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components;
using System;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors;

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    accessToken: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
    clientID: "3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58",
    clientName: "Plex for Roku",
    clientVersion: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    deviceNickname: "Roku 3"
);

try
{
    var res = await sdk.Server.GetServerCapabilitiesAsync();

    // handle response
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    if (ex is GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest)
    {
        // Handle exception data
        throw;
    }
    else if (ex is GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized)
    {
        // Handle exception data
        throw;
    }
    else if (ex is LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.SDKException)
    {
        // Handle default exception
        throw;
    }
}

Development

Maturity

This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.

Contributions

While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Feel free to open a PR or a Github issue as a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release!
