I want to make an application that make it possible to easy get new user, where they can request access and i can accept with the application.

Is there a way to add new plex accounts to a plex serve useing something else than the GUI way in the browser?

i’m assuming you do it via HTTP post to plex.tv

I have done user switching before but have not done user adding.

Validate the user’s email:
POST https://plex.tv/api/users/validate?invited_email=UserPlexAccountEmail@domain.com

Send the invite to the user:
POST https://plex.tv/api/home/users?invitedEmail=UserPlexAccountEmail@domain.com

Currenty i have it setup to just open the browser and used tab and insert text, works great but i want something that can go in the background, this might fix that =D

Read more about the URL commands here: Plex.tv · Arcanemagus/plex-api Wiki · GitHub

You will need to authenticate when interacting with a Plex-server using ‘X-Plex-Token=[TOKEN]’ e.g. the send invite to user would look like this:

https://plex.tv/api/home/users?invitedEmail=UserPlexAccountEmail@domain.com&X-Plex-Token=replace_with_token_here

Read about tokens here: Finding an authentication token / X-Plex-Token | Plex Support

Hope this will help some of you use these ‘URL commands’ in some creative codes :slight_smile:
