Error Handling

Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or an error, they will never return both. When specified by the OpenAPI spec document, the SDK will return the appropriate subclass.

Error Object	Status Code	Content Type
sdkerrors.GetServerCapabilitiesResponseBody	401	application/json
sdkerrors.SDKError	4xx-5xx	/

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"errors"
	"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
	"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo/models/sdkerrors"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	s := plexgo.New(
		plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
		plexgo.WithXPlexClientIdentifier("Postman"),
	)

	ctx := context.Background()
	res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx)
	if err != nil {

		var e *sdkerrors.GetServerCapabilitiesResponseBody
		if errors.As(err, &e) {
			// handle error
			log.Fatal(e.Error())
		}

		var e *sdkerrors.SDKError
		if errors.As(err, &e) {
			// handle error
			log.Fatal(e.Error())
		}
	}
}

Server Selection

Select Server by Index

You can override the default server globally using the WithServerIndex option 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 http), ip (default is 10.10.10.47), port (default is 32400)

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	s := plexgo.New(
		plexgo.WithServerIndex(0),
		plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
		plexgo.WithXPlexClientIdentifier("Postman"),
	)

	ctx := context.Background()
	res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	if res.Object != nil {
		// handle response
	}
}

Variables

Some of the server options above contain variables. If you want to set the values of those variables, the following options are provided for doing so:

• WithProtocol plexgo.ServerProtocol
• WithIP string
• WithPort string

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally using the WithServerURL option when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	s := plexgo.New(
		plexgo.WithServerURL("{protocol}://{ip}:{port}"),
		plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
		plexgo.WithXPlexClientIdentifier("Postman"),
	)

	ctx := context.Background()
	res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	if res.Object != nil {
		// handle response
	}
}

Override Server URL Per-Operation

The server URL can also be overridden on a per-operation basis, provided a server list was specified for the operation. For example:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
	"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo/models/operations"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	s := plexgo.New(
		plexgo.WithXPlexClientIdentifier("Postman"),
	)
	var xPlexProduct string = "Postman"

	var strong *bool = plexgo.Bool(false)

	var xPlexClientIdentifier *string = plexgo.String("Postman")
	ctx := context.Background()
	res, err := s.Plex.GetPin(ctx, xPlexProduct, strong, xPlexClientIdentifier, operations.WithServerURL("https://plex.tv/api/v2"))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	if res.Object != nil {
		// handle response
	}
}

Custom HTTP Client

The Go SDK makes API calls that wrap an internal HTTP client. The requirements for the HTTP client are very simple. It must match this interface:

type HTTPClient interface {
	Do(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
}

The built-in net/http client satisfies this interface and a default client based on the built-in is provided by default. To replace this default with a client of your own, you can implement this interface yourself or provide your own client configured as desired. Here's a simple example, which adds a client with a 30 second timeout.

import (
	"net/http"
	"time"
	"github.com/myorg/your-go-sdk"
)

var (
	httpClient = &http.Client{Timeout: 30 * time.Second}
	sdkClient  = sdk.New(sdk.WithClient(httpClient))
)

This can be a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration.

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name	Type	Scheme
AccessToken	apiKey	API key

You can configure it using the WithSecurity option when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	s := plexgo.New(
		plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
		plexgo.WithXPlexClientIdentifier("Postman"),
	)

	ctx := context.Background()
	res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	if res.Object != nil {
		// handle response
	}
}

Special Types

This SDK defines the following custom types to assist with marshalling and unmarshalling data.

Date

types.Date is a wrapper around time.Time that allows for JSON marshaling a date string formatted as "2006-01-02".

Usage

d1 := types.NewDate(time.Now()) // returns *types.Date

d2 := types.DateFromTime(time.Now()) // returns types.Date

d3, err := types.NewDateFromString("2019-01-01") // returns *types.Date, error

d4, err := types.DateFromString("2019-01-01") // returns types.Date, error

d5 := types.MustNewDateFromString("2019-01-01") // returns *types.Date and panics on error

d6 := types.MustDateFromString("2019-01-01") // returns types.Date and panics on error

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 "Postman" at SDK initialization and then you do not have to pass the same value on calls to operations like GetPin. 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

package main

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	s := plexgo.New(
		plexgo.WithXPlexClientIdentifier("Postman"),
	)
	var xPlexProduct string = "Postman"

	var strong *bool = plexgo.Bool(false)

	var xPlexClientIdentifier *string = plexgo.String("Postman")
	ctx := context.Background()
	res, err := s.Plex.GetPin(ctx, xPlexProduct, strong, xPlexClientIdentifier)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	if res.Object != nil {
		// handle response
	}
}

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!
