# Updater (*updater*) ## Overview This describes the API for searching and applying updates to the Plex Media Server. Updates to the status can be observed via the Event API. ### Available Operations * [get_update_status](#get_update_status) - Querying status of updates * [check_for_updates](#check_for_updates) - Checking for updates * [apply_updates](#apply_updates) - Apply Updates ## get_update_status Querying status of updates ### Example Usage ```python import plex_api s = plex_api.PlexAPI( access_token="", ) res = s.updater.get_update_status() if res.object is not None: # handle response pass ``` ### Response **[operations.GetUpdateStatusResponse](../../models/operations/getupdatestatusresponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | errors.GetUpdateStatusResponseBody | 401 | application/json | | errors.SDKError | 4x-5xx | */* | ## check_for_updates Checking for updates ### Example Usage ```python import plex_api from plex_api.models import operations s = plex_api.PlexAPI( access_token="", ) res = s.updater.check_for_updates(download=operations.Download.ONE) if res.status_code == 200: # handle response pass ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `download` | [Optional[operations.Download]](../../models/operations/download.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | Indicate that you want to start download any updates found. | ### Response **[operations.CheckForUpdatesResponse](../../models/operations/checkforupdatesresponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | errors.CheckForUpdatesResponseBody | 401 | application/json | | errors.SDKError | 4x-5xx | */* | ## apply_updates Note that these two parameters are effectively mutually exclusive. The `tonight` parameter takes precedence and `skip` will be ignored if `tonight` is also passed ### Example Usage ```python import plex_api from plex_api.models import operations s = plex_api.PlexAPI( access_token="", ) res = s.updater.apply_updates(tonight=operations.Tonight.ONE, skip=operations.Skip.ZERO) if res.status_code == 200: # handle response pass ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `tonight` | [Optional[operations.Tonight]](../../models/operations/tonight.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | Indicate that you want the update to run during the next Butler execution. Omitting this or setting it to false indicates that the update should install | | `skip` | [Optional[operations.Skip]](../../models/operations/skip.md) | :heavy_minus_sign: | Indicate that the latest version should be marked as skipped. The entry for this version will have the `state` set to `skipped`. | ### Response **[operations.ApplyUpdatesResponse](../../models/operations/applyupdatesresponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | | errors.ApplyUpdatesResponseBody | 401 | application/json | | errors.SDKError | 4x-5xx | */* |
