Hello, Your best bet would be to listen in on your plex server’s api calls via chrome/firefox/safari development tools or a program like [fiddler](http://www.telerik.com/fiddler "telerik.com/fiddler") while browsing [plex.tv](http://plex.tv) to see what requests are made. This is a great way to find all the interesting calls that plex makes to your server. ---

Have you tried looking over the [unoficial API documentation](https://github.com/Arcanemagus/plex-api/wiki/Plex-Web-API-Overview)? There isn’t too much there about adding sections like you are talking about, but somebody discovered a way to delete them. You can probably just log traffic from the web browser when doing it from there and figure it out from that. If you discover anything new please update the Wiki! ---

Tried what exactly? That’s the header for an XML response but you never said what triggered it (or if there was more). ---

yes, here is the request headers. ``` POST https://plex.tv/api/servers/8b1bb89cdb8b6c20d48478fa07aa2da8ss856987/shared_servers HTTP/1.1 Host: plex.tv User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0 Accept: text/plain, */*; q=0.01 Accept-Language: en Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate DNT: 1 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 X-Plex-Product: Plex Web X-Plex-Version: 2.4.16 X-Plex-Client-Identifier: fc2d02d1-2e5a-4b03-93ee-d415f28c1cd0 X-Plex-Platform: Firefox X-Plex-Platform-Version: 37.0 X-Plex-Device: Windows X-Plex-Device-Name: Plex Web (Firefox) X-Plex-Username: "your Username" X-Plex-Token: "the Token" Referer: http://app.plex.tv/web/app Content-Length: 170 Origin: http://app.plex.tv Connection: keep-alive Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache {"server_id":"8b1bb89cdb8b6c20d48478fa07aa2da8ss856987","shared_server":{"library_section_ids":[14577512],"invited_email":"test@gmail.com"},"sharing_settings":{}} ``` this is what that gets sent when I invite someone,I simple grabbed this raw headers and pasted it on “POSTMAN” Chrome Plugin which then asked me to login to my plex account,but it gives error of ``` ``` ---

Before this Request Plex sends another request ``` OPTIONS https://plex.tv/api/servers/8b1bb89cdb8b6c20d48478fa07aa2da8ss856987/shared_servers HTTP/1.1 Host: plex.tv User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate DNT: 1 Origin: http://11.11.255.11:32400 Access-Control-Request-Method: POST Access-Control-Request-Headers: content-type,x-plex-client-identifier,x-plex-device,x-plex-device-name,x-plex-platform,x-plex-platform-version,x-plex-product,x-plex-token,x-plex-username,x-plex-version Connection: keep-alive Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache ``` But response of this request is neither JSON nor XML. Update, The Plex.js have all request method but i am not Js expert ,and its too large 70k lines of code,hard to figure out . ---
