Available Operations

• listPlaylists - List playlists
• getPlaylist - Retrieve Playlist
• getPlaylistItems - Retrieve Playlist Contents

listPlaylists

Gets a list of playlists and playlist folders for a user. General filters are permitted, such as sort=lastViewedAt:desc. A flat playlist list can be retrieved using type=15 to limit the collection to just playlists.

Example Usage

import { PlexAPI } from "@lukehagar/plexjs";
import { Accepts } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/models/shared";

const plexAPI = new PlexAPI({
  accepts: 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>",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await plexAPI.playlist.listPlaylists({});

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Standalone function

import { playlistListPlaylists } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/funcs/playlistListPlaylists.js";
import { Accepts } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/models/shared";

// Use `PlexAPICore` for best tree-shaking performance.
// You can create one instance of it to use across an application.
const plexAPI = new PlexAPICore({

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
request	operations.ListPlaylistsRequest	✔️	The request object to use for the request.
options	RequestOptions	➖	Used to set various options for making HTTP requests.
options.fetchOptions	RequestInit	➖	Options that are passed to the underlying HTTP request. This can be used to inject extra headers for examples. All Request options, except method and body, are allowed.

getPlaylist

Gets detailed metadata for a playlist. A playlist for many purposes (rating, editing metadata, tagging), can be treated like a regular metadata item: Smart playlist details contain the content attribute. This is the content URI for the generator. This can then be parsed by a client to provide smart playlist editing.

Example Usage

import { PlexAPI } from "@lukehagar/plexjs";
import { Accepts } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/models/shared";

const plexAPI = new PlexAPI({
  accepts: 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>",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await plexAPI.playlist.getPlaylist({
    playlistId: 841953,
  });

  console.log(result);
}

run();

getPlaylistItems

Gets the contents of a playlist. Should be paged by clients via standard mechanisms. By default leaves are returned (e.g. episodes, movies). In order to return other types you can use the type parameter. For example, you could use this to display a list of recently added albums vis a smart playlist. Note that for dumb playlists, items have a playlistItemID attribute which is used for deleting or moving items.

Example Usage

import { PlexAPI } from "@lukehagar/plexjs";
import { Accepts } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/models/shared";

const plexAPI = new PlexAPI({
  accepts: Accepts.ApplicationXml,
  clientIdentifier: "abc123",
