# Butler (*Butler*) ## Overview Butler is the task manager of the Plex Media Server Ecosystem. ### Available Operations * [GetButlerTasks](#getbutlertasks) - Get Butler tasks * [StartAllTasks](#startalltasks) - Start all Butler tasks * [StopAllTasks](#stopalltasks) - Stop all Butler tasks * [StartTask](#starttask) - Start a single Butler task * [StopTask](#stoptask) - Stop a single Butler task ## GetButlerTasks Returns a list of butler tasks ### Example Usage ```go package main import( "context" "github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo" "log" ) func main() { ctx := context.Background() s := plexgo.New( plexgo.WithSecurity(""), ) res, err := s.Butler.GetButlerTasks(ctx) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } if res.Object != nil { // handle response } } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | `ctx` | [context.Context](https://pkg.go.dev/context#Context) | :heavy_check_mark: | The context to use for the request. | | `opts` | [][operations.Option](../../models/operations/option.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | The options for this request. | ### Response **[*operations.GetButlerTasksResponse](../../models/operations/getbutlertasksresponse.md), error** ### Errors | Error Type | Status Code | Content Type | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------ | | sdkerrors.GetButlerTasksBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | sdkerrors.GetButlerTasksUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | sdkerrors.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | \*/\* | ## StartAllTasks This endpoint will attempt to start all Butler tasks that are enabled in the settings. Butler tasks normally run automatically during a time window configured on the server's Settings page but can be manually started using this endpoint. Tasks will run with the following criteria: 1. Any tasks not scheduled to run on the current day will be skipped. 2. If a task is configured to run at a random time during the configured window and we are outside that window, the task will start immediately. 3. If a task is configured to run at a random time during the configured window and we are within that window, the task will be scheduled at a random time within the window. 4. If we are outside the configured window, the task will start immediately. ### Example Usage ```go package main import( "context" "github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo" "log" ) func main() { ctx := context.Background() s := plexgo.New( plexgo.WithSecurity(""), ) res, err := s.Butler.StartAllTasks(ctx) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } if res != nil { // handle response } } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | `ctx` | [context.Context](https://pkg.go.dev/context#Context) | :heavy_check_mark: | The context to use for the request. | | `opts` | [][operations.Option](../../models/operations/option.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | The options for this request. | ### Response **[*operations.StartAllTasksResponse](../../models/operations/startalltasksresponse.md), error** ### Errors | Error Type | Status Code | Content Type | | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | sdkerrors.StartAllTasksBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | sdkerrors.StartAllTasksUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | sdkerrors.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | \*/\* | ## StopAllTasks This endpoint will stop all currently running tasks and remove any scheduled tasks from the queue. ### Example Usage ```go package main import( "context" "github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo" "log" ) func main() { ctx := context.Background() s := plexgo.New( plexgo.WithSecurity(""), ) res, err := s.Butler.StopAllTasks(ctx) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } if res != nil { // handle response } } ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | | `ctx` | [context.Context](https://pkg.go.dev/context#Context) | :heavy_check_mark: | The context to use for the request. | | `opts` | [][operations.Option](../../models/operations/option.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | The options for this request. | ### Response **[*operations.StopAllTasksResponse](../../models/operations/stopalltasksresponse.md), error** ### Errors | Error Type | Status Code | Content Type | | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | sdkerrors.StopAllTasksBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | sdkerrors.StopAllTasksUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | sdkerrors.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | \*/\* | ## StartTask This endpoint will attempt to start a single Butler task that is enabled in the settings.
