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 ) |
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: ::PlexRubySDK::ServerVariables::ServerProtocol
ip: ::String
port: ::String
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:
The server URL can also be overridden on a per-operation basis, provided a server list was specified for the operation. For example:
require 'plex_ruby_sdk'
s = ::PlexRubySDK::PlexAPI.new(
client_id: "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40",
client_name: "Plex Web",
client_version: "4.133.0",
client_platform: "Chrome",
device_name: "Linux",
)
s.config_security(
::PlexRubySDK::Shared::Security.new(
access_token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
)
)
res = s.plex.get_companions_data(server_url: "https://plex.tv/api/v2")
if ! res.response_bodies.nil?
# handle response
end
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 get_server_resources
. But if you want to do so you may, which will locally override the global setting. See the example code below for a demonstration.
The following global parameters are available.
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
client_id | ::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) |
| | client_name | ::String | | The client_name parameter. | | client_version | ::String | | The client_version parameter. | | client_platform | ::String | | The client_platform parameter. | | device_name | ::String | | The device_name parameter. |
require 'plex_ruby_sdk'
s = ::PlexRubySDK::PlexAPI.new(
client_id: "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40",
client_name: "Plex Web",
client_version: "4.133.0",
client_platform: "Chrome",
device_name: "Linux",
)
s.config_security(
::PlexRubySDK::Shared::Security.new(
access_token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
)
)
res = s.plex.get_server_resources(include_https=::PlexRubySDK::Operations::IncludeHttps::ENABLE, include_relay=::PlexRubySDK::Operations::IncludeRelay::ENABLE, include_i_pv6=::PlexRubySDK::Operations::IncludeIPv6::ENABLE, client_id="gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40")
if ! res.plex_devices.nil?
# handle response

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.
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!
