<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use \LukeHagar\Plex_API;
use \LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Components;
$security = new Components\Security();

### Response

## getLibraries
A library section (commonly referred to as just a library) is a collection of media.
Libraries are typed, and depending on their type provide either a flat or a hierarchical view of the media.
For example, a music library has an artist > albums > tracks structure, whereas a movie library is flat.
Libraries have features beyond just being a collection of media; for starters, they include information about supported types, filters and sorts.
This allows a client to provide a rich interface around the media (e.g. allow sorting movies by release year).
### Example Usage
```php
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use \LukeHagar\Plex_API;
use \LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Components;
$security = new Components\Security();
$security->accessToken = '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>';
$sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder()
->setXPlexClientIdentifier('Postman')
->setSecurity($security)->build();
try {
$response = $sdk->library->getLibraries();
if ($response->twoHundredApplicationJsonObject !== null) {
// handle response
}
} catch (Throwable $e) {
// handle exception
}
```
### Response
**[?\LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Operations\GetLibrariesResponse](../../Models/Operations/GetLibrariesResponse.md)**
## getLibrary
## Library Details Endpoint
This endpoint provides comprehensive details about the library, focusing on organizational aspects rather than the content itself.
The details include:
### Directories
Organized into three categories:
- **Primary Directories**:
- Used in some clients for quick access to media subsets (e.g., "All", "On Deck").
- Most can be replicated via media queries.
- Customizable by users.
- **Secondary Directories**:
- Marked with `secondary="1"`.
- Used in older clients for structured navigation.
- **Special Directories**:
- Includes a "By Folder" entry for filesystem-based browsing.
- Contains an obsolete `search="1"` entry for on-the-fly search dialog creation.
### Types
Each type in the library comes with a set of filters and sorts, aiding in building dynamic media controls:
- **Type Object Attributes**:
- `key`: Endpoint for the media list of this type.
- `type`: Metadata type (if standard Plex type).
- `title`: Title for this content type (e.g., "Movies").
- **Filter Objects**:
- Subset of the media query language.
- Attributes include `filter` (name), `filterType` (data type), `key` (endpoint for value range), and `title`.
- **Sort Objects**:
- Description of sort fields.
- Attributes include `defaultDirection` (asc/desc), `descKey` and `key` (sort parameters), and `title`.
> **Note**: Filters and sorts are optional; without them, no filtering controls are rendered.
### Example Usage
```php
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use \LukeHagar\Plex_API;
use \LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Components;

$security = new Components\Security();
$security->accessToken = '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>';
$sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder()
->setXPlexClientIdentifier('Postman')
->setSecurity($security)->build();
try {
$response = $sdk->library->getLibrary(1000, Operations\IncludeDetails::Zero);
