Full metadata in list from API output?

Is it possible to get the full metadata from the listings in the API XML output?

 

I'm writing a program to fetch all the metadata from Plex and run some checks against it for collection management. (i.e. adding all Marvel Studio films to a Marvel collection, but also adding Writing credits to Stan Lee to the same collection).

 

At present, I have to grab the full movie list from /library/sections/1/all and then get each items metadata page, which takes forever. Is it possible to make Plex display all metadata in the first list?

AFAIK, nope.....

Only way I know off, is the one I use in my Plex2CSV, that does what you want, except it export into a csv file

Check the sourcecode for my Plex2CSV, found in my signature

Ah, that's a good idea. Would certainly be quicker than my current method.

I could use Plex2CSV to make a CSV file of the database and then parse that manually. I don't really want this to be a channel per se, although I might develop it into one at some point. I'll check out your source code anyway and see if I can use your method externally.
