Server Selection

Select Server by Index

You can override the default server globally by passing a server index to the serverIndex: int optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the indexes associated with the available servers:

#	Server	Variables	Description
0	https://{IP-description}.{identifier}.plex.direct:{port}	identifier IP-description port
1	{protocol}://{host}:{port}	protocol host port
2	https://{full_server_url}	full_server_url

If the selected server has variables, you may override its default values through the additional parameters made available in the SDK constructor:

Variable	Parameter	Default	Description
identifier	identifier: string	"0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"	The unique identifier of this particular PMS
IP-description	ipDescription: string	"1-2-3-4"	A - separated string of the IPv4 or IPv6 address components
port	port: string	"32400"	The Port number configured on the PMS. Typically (32400). If using a reverse proxy, this would be the port number configured on the proxy.
protocol	protocol: string	"http"	The network protocol to use. Typically (http or https)
host	host: string	"localhost"	The Host of the PMS. If using on a local network, this is the internal IP address of the server hosting the PMS. If using on an external network, this is the external IP address for your network, and requires port forwarding. If using a reverse proxy, this would be the external DNS domain for your network, and requires the proxy handle port forwarding.
full_server_url	fullServerUrl: string	"http://localhost:32400"	The full manual URL to access the PMS

Example

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

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    serverIndex: 0,
    identifier: "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef",
    ipDescription: "1-2-3-4",
    port: "32400",
    accepts: LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components.Accepts.ApplicationXml,
    clientIdentifier: "abc123",
    product: "Plex for Roku",
    version: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
    device: "Roku 3",
    model: "4200X",
    deviceVendor: "Roku",
    deviceName: "Living Room TV",
    marketplace: "googlePlay",
    token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"
);

GetServerInfoRequest req = new GetServerInfoRequest() {};

var res = await sdk.General.GetServerInfoAsync(req);

// handle response

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;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests;

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    serverUrl: "https://http://localhost:32400",
    accepts: LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components.Accepts.ApplicationXml,
    clientIdentifier: "abc123",
    product: "Plex for Roku",
    version: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
    device: "Roku 3",
    model: "4200X",
    deviceVendor: "Roku",
    deviceName: "Living Room TV",
    marketplace: "googlePlay",
    token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"
);

GetServerInfoRequest req = new GetServerInfoRequest() {};

var res = await sdk.General.GetServerInfoAsync(req);

// 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;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests;

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    accepts: LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components.Accepts.ApplicationXml,
    clientIdentifier: "abc123",
    product: "Plex for Roku",
    version: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
    device: "Roku 3",
    model: "4200X",
    deviceVendor: "Roku",
    deviceName: "Living Room TV",
    marketplace: "googlePlay",
    token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"
);

GetTokenDetailsRequest req = new GetTokenDetailsRequest() {};

var res = await sdk.Authentication.GetTokenDetailsAsync(
    request: req,
    serverUrl: "https://plex.tv/api/v2"
);

// handle response

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name	Type	Scheme
Token	apiKey	API key

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

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

var sdk = new PlexAPI(
    token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
    accepts: LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components.Accepts.ApplicationXml,
    clientIdentifier: "abc123",
    product: "Plex for Roku",
    version: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
    device: "Roku 3",
    model: "4200X",
    deviceVendor: "Roku",
    deviceName: "Living Room TV",
    marketplace: "googlePlay"
);

GetServerInfoRequest req = new GetServerInfoRequest() {};

var res = await sdk.General.GetServerInfoAsync(req);

// handle response

Error Handling

PlexAPIError is the base exception class for all HTTP error responses. It has the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
Message	string	Error message
StatusCode	int	HTTP status code
Headers	HttpResponseHeaders	HTTP headers
ContentType	string?	HTTP content type
RawResponse	HttpResponseMessage	HTTP response object
Body	string	HTTP response body

Some exceptions in this SDK include an additional Payload field, which will contain deserialized custom error data when present. Possible exceptions are listed in the Error Classes section.

Example

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests;
using System.Collections.Generic;

    product: "Plex for Roku",
    version: "2.4.1",
    platform: "Roku",
    platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
    device: "Roku 3",
    model: "4200X",
    deviceVendor: "Roku",
    deviceName: "Living Room TV",
    marketplace: "googlePlay",
    token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"
);

try
{
    GetTokenDetailsRequest req = new GetTokenDetailsRequest() {};

    var res = await sdk.Authentication.GetTokenDetailsAsync(req);

    // handle response
}
catch (PlexAPIError ex)  // all SDK exceptions inherit from PlexAPIError
{
    // ex.ToString() provides a detailed error message
    System.Console.WriteLine(ex);

    // Base exception fields
    HttpResponseMessage rawResponse = ex.RawResponse;
    HttpResponseHeaders headers = ex.Headers;
    int statusCode = ex.StatusCode;
    string? contentType = ex.ContentType;
    var responseBody = ex.Body;

    if (ex is GetTokenDetailsBadRequest) // different exceptions may be thrown depending on the method
    {
        // Check error data fields
        GetTokenDetailsBadRequestPayload payload = ex.Payload;
        List<Errors> Errors = payload.Errors;
        HttpResponseMessage RawResponse = payload.RawResponse;
    }

    // An underlying cause may be provided
    if (ex.InnerException != null)
    {
        Exception cause = ex.InnerException;
    }
}
catch (System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException ex)
{
    // Check ex.InnerException for Network connectivity errors
}

Custom HTTP Client

The C# SDK makes API calls using an ISpeakeasyHttpClient that wraps the native HttpClient. This client provides the ability to attach hooks around the request lifecycle that can be used to modify the request or handle errors and response.

The ISpeakeasyHttpClient interface allows you to either use the default SpeakeasyHttpClient that comes with the SDK, or provide your own custom implementation with customized configuration such as custom message handlers, timeouts, connection pooling, and other HTTP client settings.

The following example shows how to create a custom HTTP client with request modification and error handling:

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Utils;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

// Create a custom HTTP client
public class CustomHttpClient : ISpeakeasyHttpClient
{
    private readonly ISpeakeasyHttpClient _defaultClient;

    public CustomHttpClient()
    {
        _defaultClient = new SpeakeasyHttpClient();
    }

    public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken? cancellationToken = null)
    {
        // Add custom header and timeout
        request.Headers.Add("x-custom-header", "custom value");
        request.Headers.Add("x-request-timeout", "30");
        
        try
        {
            var response = await _defaultClient.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
            // Log successful response
            Console.WriteLine($"Request successful: {response.StatusCode}");
            return response;
        }
        catch (Exception error)
        {
            // Log error
            Console.WriteLine($"Request failed: {error.Message}");
            throw;
        }
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        _httpClient?.Dispose();
        _defaultClient?.Dispose();
    }
}

// Use the custom HTTP client with the SDK
var customHttpClient = new CustomHttpClient();
var sdk = new PlexAPI(client: customHttpClient);

You can also provide a completely custom HTTP client with your own configuration:

using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Utils;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

// Custom HTTP client with custom configuration
public class AdvancedHttpClient : ISpeakeasyHttpClient
{
    private readonly HttpClient _httpClient;

    public AdvancedHttpClient()
    {
        var handler = new HttpClientHandler()
        {
            MaxConnectionsPerServer = 10,
            // ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = customCertValidation, // Custom SSL validation if needed
        };

        _httpClient = new HttpClient(handler)
        {
            Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)
        };
    }

    public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken? cancellationToken = null)
    {
        return await _httpClient.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken ?? CancellationToken.None);
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        _httpClient?.Dispose();
    }
}

var sdk = PlexAPI.Builder()
    .WithClient(new AdvancedHttpClient())
    .Build();

For simple debugging, you can enable request/response logging by implementing a custom client:

public class LoggingHttpClient : ISpeakeasyHttpClient
{
    private readonly ISpeakeasyHttpClient _innerClient;

    public LoggingHttpClient(ISpeakeasyHttpClient innerClient = null)
    {
        _innerClient = innerClient ?? new SpeakeasyHttpClient();
    }

    public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken? cancellationToken = null)
    {
        // Log request
        Console.WriteLine($"Sending {request.Method} request to {request.RequestUri}");
        
        var response = await _innerClient.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
        
        // Log response
        Console.WriteLine($"Received {response.StatusCode} response");
        
        return response;
    }

    public void Dispose() => _innerClient?.Dispose();
}

var sdk = new PlexAPI(client: new LoggingHttpClient());

The SDK also provides built-in hook support through the SDKConfiguration.Hooks system, which automatically handles BeforeRequestAsync, AfterSuccessAsync, and AfterErrorAsync hooks for advanced request lifecycle management.

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.

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!
