Authorizations

​
X-Plex-Token
string
header
required

The token which identifies the user accessing the PMS. This can be either:

  • A traditional access token obtained from plex.tv
  • A JWT token obtained through the JWT authentication flow

JWT tokens provide better security with:

  • Short-lived tokens (7 days expiration)
  • Public-key cryptography (ED25519)
  • Better clock synchronization
  • Individual device revocation capability

Query Parameters

​
asyncCheckFiles
enum<integer>

Determines if file check should be performed asynchronously. An activity is created to indicate progress. Default is false.

Available options:
0,
1
​
asyncRefreshLocalMediaAgent
enum<integer>

Determines if local media agent refresh should be performed asynchronously. An activity is created to indicate progress. Default is false.

OK

​
MediaContainer
object

MediaContainer is the root element of most Plex API responses. It serves as a generic container for various types of content (Metadata, Hubs, Directories, etc.) and includes pagination information (offset, size, totalSize) when applicable. Common attributes: - identifier: Unique identifier for this container - size: Number of items in this response page - totalSize: Total number of items available (for pagination) - offset: Starting index of this page (for pagination) The container often "hoists" common attributes from its children. For example, if all tracks in a container share the same album title, the parentTitle attribute may appear on the MediaContainer rather than being repeated on each track.
