SDK Installation
The SDK uses the Swift Package Manager to handle dependencies, which is included in Swift 3.0 and above.
You can add plexswift to your project directly in Xcode (File > Add Packages...) or by adding it to your project's Package.swift file:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/LukeHagar/plexswift.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "0.6.2"))
]
SDK Example Usage
Example
import Foundation
import Plexswift
let client = Client(security: .accessToken("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"))
let response = try await client.server.getServerCapabilities()
switch response.data {
case .object(let object):
// Handle response
break
case .badRequest(let badRequest):
// Handle response
break
case .unauthorized(let unauthorized):
// Handle response
break
case .empty:
// Handle empty response
break
}

Authentication
Global Security Schemes
The SDK supports the following security scheme globally through the Shared.Security type:
| Name | Type | Scheme |
|---|---|---|
.accessToken |
apiKey | API key |
You can set the appropriate security parameters by passing a Shared.Security value for the security parameter when initializing the Client instance. For example:
import Foundation
import Plexswift
let client = Client(security: .accessToken("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"))
let response = try await client.server.getServerCapabilities()
switch response.data {
case .object(let object):
// Handle response
break
case .badRequest(let badRequest):
// Handle response
break
case .unauthorized(let unauthorized):
// Handle response
break
case .empty:
// Handle empty response
break
}
Global Parameters
A parameter is configured globally. This parameter may be set on the SDK client instance itself during initialization. When configured as an option during SDK initialization, This global value will be used as the default on the operations that use it. When such operations are called, there is a place in each to override the global value, if needed.
For example, you can set X-Plex-Client-Identifier to "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40" at SDK initialization and then you do not have to pass the same value on calls to operations like getServerResources. 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 parameter is available.
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| xPlexClientIdentifier | 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) | |||
Example
import Foundation
import Plexswift
let client = Client(security: .accessToken("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"))
let response = try await client.plex.getServerResources(
request: Operations.GetServerResourcesRequest(
includeHttps: .one,
includeIPv6: .one,
includeRelay: .one,
)
)
switch response.data {
case .plexDevices(let plexDevices):
// Handle response
break
case .badRequest(let badRequest):
// Handle response
break
case .unauthorized(let unauthorized):
// Handle response
break
case .empty:
// Handle empty response
break
}
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!
