SDK Installation

Getting started

JDK 11 or later is required.

The samples below show how a published SDK artifact is used:

Gradle:

implementation 'dev.plexapi:plexapi:0.8.0'

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>dev.plexapi</groupId>
    <artifactId>plexapi</artifactId>
    <version>0.8.0</version>
</dependency>

How to build

After cloning the git repository to your file system you can build the SDK artifact from source to the build directory by running ./gradlew build on *nix systems or gradlew.bat on Windows systems.

If you wish to build from source and publish the SDK artifact to your local Maven repository (on your filesystem) then use the following command (after cloning the git repo locally):

On *nix:

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal -Pskip.signing

On Windows:

gradlew.bat publishToMavenLocal -Pskip.signing

Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, you can provide a RetryConfig object through the retryConfig builder method:

package hello.world;

import dev.plexapi.sdk.PlexAPI;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.operations.GetServerCapabilitiesResponse;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.utils.BackoffStrategy;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.utils.RetryConfig;
import java.lang.Exception;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest, GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized, Exception {

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

        GetServerCapabilitiesResponse res = sdk.server().getServerCapabilities()
                .retryConfig(RetryConfig.builder()
                    .backoff(BackoffStrategy.builder()
                        .initialInterval(1L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                        .maxInterval(50L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                        .maxElapsedTime(1000L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                        .baseFactor(1.1)
                        .jitterFactor(0.15)
                        .retryConnectError(false)
                        .build())
                    .build())
                .call();

        if (res.object().isPresent()) {
            // handle response
        }
    }
}

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can provide a configuration at SDK initialization:

package hello.world;

import dev.plexapi.sdk.PlexAPI;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.operations.GetServerCapabilitiesResponse;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.utils.BackoffStrategy;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.utils.RetryConfig;
import java.lang.Exception;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest, GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized, Exception {

        PlexAPI sdk = PlexAPI.builder()
                .retryConfig(RetryConfig.builder()
                    .backoff(BackoffStrategy.builder()
                        .initialInterval(1L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                        .maxInterval(50L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                        .maxElapsedTime(1000L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                        .baseFactor(1.1)
                        .jitterFactor(0.15)
                        .retryConnectError(false)
                        .build())
                    .build())
                .accessToken("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>")
                .clientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58")
                .clientName("Plex for Roku")
                .clientVersion("2.4.1")
                .platform("Roku")
                .deviceNickname("Roku 3")
            .build();

        GetServerCapabilitiesResponse res = sdk.server().getServerCapabilities()
                .call();

        if (res.object().isPresent()) {
            // handle response
        }
    }
}

Error Handling

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

By default, an API error will throw a models/errors/SDKError exception. When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also throw their associated exception. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the getServerCapabilities method throws the following exceptions:

Error Type	Status Code	Content Type
models/errors/GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest	400	application/json
models/errors/GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized	401	application/json
models/errors/SDKError	4XX, 5XX	/

Example

package hello.world;

import dev.plexapi.sdk.PlexAPI;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.operations.GetServerCapabilitiesResponse;
import java.lang.Exception;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest, GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized, Exception {

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

        GetServerCapabilitiesResponse res = sdk.server().getServerCapabilities()
                .call();

        if (res.object().isPresent()) {
            // handle response
        }
    }
}

Server Selection

Select Server by Index

You can override the default server globally by passing a server index to the serverIndex builder method 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
0	`{protocol}://{ip}:{port}`	`protocol` (default is `https`), `ip` (default is `10.10.10.47`), `port` (default is `32400`)

Example

package hello.world;

import dev.plexapi.sdk.PlexAPI;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.operations.GetServerCapabilitiesResponse;
import java.lang.Exception;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest, GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized, Exception {

        PlexAPI sdk = PlexAPI.builder()
                .serverIndex(0)
                .accessToken("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>")
                .clientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58")
                .clientName("Plex for Roku")
                .clientVersion("2.4.1")
                .platform("Roku")
                .deviceNickname("Roku 3")
            .build();

        GetServerCapabilitiesResponse res = sdk.server().getServerCapabilities()
                .call();

        if (res.object().isPresent()) {
            // handle response
        }
    }
}

Variables

Some of the server options above contain variables. If you want to set the values of those variables, the following optional parameters are available when initializing the SDK client instance:

ServerProtocol protocol
String ip
String port

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL builder method when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

package hello.world;

import dev.plexapi.sdk.PlexAPI;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.operations.GetServerCapabilitiesResponse;
import java.lang.Exception;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest, GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized, Exception {

        PlexAPI sdk = PlexAPI.builder()
                .serverURL("{protocol}://{ip}:{port}")
                .accessToken("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>")
                .clientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58")
                .clientName("Plex for Roku")
                .clientVersion("2.4.1")
                .platform("Roku")
                .deviceNickname("Roku 3")
            .build();

        GetServerCapabilitiesResponse res = sdk.server().getServerCapabilities()
                .call();

        if (res.object().isPresent()) {
            // 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:

package hello.world;

import dev.plexapi.sdk.PlexAPI;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetCompanionsDataBadRequest;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetCompanionsDataUnauthorized;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.operations.GetCompanionsDataResponse;
import java.lang.Exception;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws GetCompanionsDataBadRequest, GetCompanionsDataUnauthorized, Exception {

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

        GetCompanionsDataResponse res = sdk.plex().getCompanionsData()
                .serverURL("https://plex.tv/api/v2")
                .call();

        if (res.responseBodies().isPresent()) {
            // 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:

package hello.world;

import dev.plexapi.sdk.PlexAPI;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.operations.GetServerCapabilitiesResponse;
import java.lang.Exception;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest, GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized, Exception {

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

        GetServerCapabilitiesResponse res = sdk.server().getServerCapabilities()
                .call();

        if (res.object().isPresent()) {
            // handle response
        }
    }
}

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. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
