Table of Contents

SDK Installation

The SDK relies on Composer to manage its dependencies.

To install the SDK and add it as a dependency to an existing composer.json file:

composer require "lukehagar/plex-api"

SDK Example Usage

Example

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use LukeHagar\Plex_API;

$security = '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>';

$sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder()
    ->setClientID('gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40')
    ->setClientName('Plex Web')
    ->setClientVersion('4.133.0')
    ->setClientPlatform('Chrome')
    ->setDeviceName('Linux')
    ->setSecurity($security)->build();



$response = $sdk->server->getServerCapabilities(

);

if ($response->object !== null) {
    // handle response
}

Global Parameters

Certain parameters are configured globally. These parameters may be set on the SDK client instance itself during initialization. When configured as an option during SDK initialization, These global values will be used as defaults on the operations that use them. When such operations are called, there is a place in each to override the global value, if needed.

For example, you can set ClientID to 'gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40' at SDK initialization and then you do not have to pass the same value on calls to operations like getPin. But if you want to do so you may, which will locally override the global setting. See the example code below for a demonstration.

Available Globals

The following global parameters are available.

Name Type Required Description
clientID string The unique identifier for the client application
This is used to track the client application and its usage
(UUID, serial number, or other number unique per device)
clientName string The clientName parameter.
clientVersion string The clientVersion parameter.
clientPlatform string The clientPlatform parameter.
deviceName string The deviceName parameter.

Example

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use LukeHagar\Plex_API;
use LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Operations;

$sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder()
    ->setClientID('gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40')
    ->setClientName('Plex Web')
    ->setClientVersion('4.133.0')
    ->setClientPlatform('Chrome')
    ->setDeviceName('Linux')
    ->build();

$request = new Operations\GetPinRequest();

$response = $sdk->plex->getPin(
    request: $request
);

if ($response->authPinContainer !== null) {
    // handle response
}

Error Handling

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

By default an API error will raise a Errors\SDKException exception, which has the following properties:

Property Type Description
$message string The error message
$statusCode int The HTTP status code
$rawResponse ?\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface The raw HTTP response
$body string The response content

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 Object Status Code Content Type
Errors\GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest 400 application/json
Errors\GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized 401 application/json
LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Errors.SDKException 4xx-5xx /

Example

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use LukeHagar\Plex_API;

$security = '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>';

$sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder()
    ->setClientID('gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40')
    ->setClientName('Plex Web')
    ->setClientVersion('4.133.0')
    ->setClientPlatform('Chrome')
    ->setDeviceName('Linux')
    ->setSecurity($security)->build();

try {
    $response = $sdk->server->getServerCapabilities(

    );

    if ($response->object !== null) {
        // handle response
    }
} catch (Errors\GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequestThrowable $e) {
    // handle $e->$container data
    throw $e;
} catch (Errors\GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorizedThrowable $e) {
    // handle $e->$container data
    throw $e;
} catch (Errors\SDKException $e) {
    // handle default exception
    throw $e;
}

Server Selection

Server Selection

Select Server by Index

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

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:

  • protocol: Plex_API\ServerProtocol
  • ip: string
  • port: string

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the server_url: str optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

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:

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use LukeHagar\Plex_API;

$security = '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>';

$sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder()
    ->setClientID('gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40')
    ->setClientName('Plex Web')
    ->setClientVersion('4.133.0')
    ->setClientPlatform('Chrome')
    ->setDeviceName('Linux')
    ->setSecurity($security)->build();



$response = $sdk->plex->getCompanionsData(
    "https://plex.tv/api/v2"
);

if ($response->responseBodies !== null) {
    // 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. 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!
