I’ve been developing an iOS app for the last few days.
The user path is simple : first, the user logs in with his Plex credentials or pins. This gives me a Plex token for the user. Then I want to use this token to search for movies in the server they’re already part of.
I’ve been using the /search endpoint found here :
https://github.com/Arcanemagus/plex-api/wiki/Plex-Web-API-Overview
http://myServerIP:32400/search?query=Joker&X-Plex-Token=userPlexToken
Everything was working smoothly with my account. But today I’ve discovered that this endpoint only allows owner/admin to query the server. I’ve tried with a friend’s Plex token who is already added in my server but the response is Unauthorized.
Do you have the same behaviour on your side ? I find it weird that user, already part of a server, can’t search for movies through the API, as they are able to do it with the plex interface.
