Is there no official documented Plex API?

I have been using Plex for several years now. Somewhen in between I stumbled upon this tutorial:

Authenticating with Plex

Authenticating with Plex Quick Start You’re developing an app that needs access to a user’s Plex account. To do this, you’ll need to get access to the user’s Access Token. This document details how to check whether an Access Token is valid, and how to obtain a new one. High-level Steps Choose a unique app name, like “My Cool Plex App” Check storage for your app’s Client Identifier; generate and store one if none is present. Check storage for the user’s Access Token; if present, verify its vali…

The steps outlined there look like just the introduction to the Plex API that I need now - now that I decided I want to write an iOS app that enables nice and smooth photo browsing with Plex.

So I started developing, got the authentication process to work and was going to proceed to the API docs to start fetching photos. But… d’oh. There is none. After that nice tutorial? What the…?! I found a forums thread asking for API docs that was met with utter silence a few years ago.

All in all starting to develop for Plex has been a big disappointment. Since (apparently) nothing moved within the last few years I am looking into the Emby API. However Emby has other drawbacks and in general I was a happy Plex customer.

Please. Give us something reliable to code against. Plex is a great product. I want to stay here.
