  • PLEX_TOKEN: Your Plex auth token (find it at plex.tv/claim or in Plex app XML)

Common Commands

bash
curl -s "$PLEX_SERVER/?X-Plex-Token=$PLEX_TOKEN" -H "Accept: application/json"

curl -s "$PLEX_SERVER/library/sections?X-Plex-Token=$PLEX_TOKEN" -H "Accept: application/json"

List Library Contents

  • Media keys look like /library/metadata/12345
  • Always confirm before starting playback on a device
  • Get your token: plex.tv → Account → Authorized Devices → XML link
