I’ve been seeing lately episodes found by the scanner but no metadata fetched. I created an auto collection for TV shows to list these so I can click through them to refresh the metadata at which point they work. What I’d like to do is add a sensor on my home assistant to highlight when I need to go into Plex to do this but cannot get that collection to show in the API. If I use [http://192.168.0.100:32400/library/sections/1/collection/](http://192.168.0.100:32400/library/sections/1/collection/)? I get the list of collections but this one doesn’t show up. Any ideas how I can call back to Plex to see if there are items in that collection? ---

When you edit your collection, you’ll see the key in the url, like: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/4/1/4/414f27652971633e034c72f1ace816255b56ea01.png) In above, my key for the collection is `74606` So I can then use this url: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/6/2/b/62bec7f8e3dc3d4e8aa92b5fc9b9d9bb8974273d.png) that will return: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/c/f/0/cf0fe3f5ba56798b124a3bfea00521169bfd978e.png) And in above, I see 31 shows with episodes that matched my collection ---

Great - I was close as I’d found the the ID just not the right collection URL. Cheers, ---
