Events

Overview

The server can notify clients in real-time of a wide range of events, from library scanning, to preferences being modified, to changes to media, and many other things. This is also the mechanism by which activity progress is reported.

Two protocols for receiving the events are available: EventSource (also known as SSE), and WebSocket.

Available Operations

getNotifications

Connect to the event source to get a stream of events

Example Usage

import { PlexAPI } from "@lukehagar/plexjs";
import { Accepts } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/models/shared";

const plexAPI = new PlexAPI({
  accepts: Accepts.ApplicationXml,
  clientIdentifier: "abc123",
  product: "Plex for Roku",
  version: "2.4.1",
  platform: "Roku",
  platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
  device: "Roku 3",
  model: "4200X",
  deviceVendor: "Roku",
  deviceName: "Living Room TV",
  marketplace: "googlePlay",
  token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
});

async function run() {
  const result = await plexAPI.events.getNotifications({});

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Standalone function

The standalone function version of this method:

import { PlexAPICore } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/core.js";
import { eventsGetNotifications } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/funcs/eventsGetNotifications.js";
import { Accepts } from "@lukehagar/plexjs/models/shared";

// Use `PlexAPICore` for best tree-shaking performance.
// You can create one instance of it to use across an application.
const plexAPI = new PlexAPICore({
  accepts: Accepts.ApplicationXml,
  clientIdentifier: "abc123",
  product: "Plex for Roku",
  version: "2.4.1",
  platform: "Roku",
  platformVersion: "4.3 build 1057",
  device: "Roku 3",
  model: "4200X",
  deviceVendor: "Roku",
  deviceName: "Living Room TV",
  marketplace: "googlePlay",
  token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
});

async function run() {
  const res = await eventsGetNotifications(plexAPI, {});
  if (res.ok) {
    const { value: result } = res;
    console.log(result);
  } else {
    console.log("eventsGetNotifications failed:", res.error);
  }
}

run();

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
request operations.GetNotificationsRequest ✔️ The request object to use for the request.
options RequestOptions ➖ Used to set various options for making HTTP requests.
options.fetchOptions RequestInit ➖ Options that are passed to the underlying HTTP request. This can be used to inject extra headers for examples. All Request options, except method and body, are allowed.
options.retries RetryConfig ➖ Enables retrying HTTP requests under certain failure conditions.

Response
