Interacting with a plex client remotely

Are there any examples of how to interact with a plex client remotely? I was hoping to scrape Now Playing information, but if someone could direct me towards any example where someone accesses a running client instance for any task, that’d be fantastic. I’ve been browsing the API documentation but examples seem near non-existent and nothing seems to indicate that what I want to do is possible. Do I have to write a plugin to expose all the info I want over a socket, or web service, in order to access it remotely?



Thanks!

This isn’t available, sorry - Plex clients report limited information about what they’re playing to the server, but this isn’t currently accessible via an API. It’s something we intend to improve in future.
