I am a developer and I have this idea for a plugin and I read link below, so I hope I can still build it.  
[https://support.plex.tv/articles/201053748-overview/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201053748-overview/)

Is there any support documents out there?  
I don’t know even if it is possible what I have in my mind as I need to get process the image in real time on the server to extract some colour information.  
regards,

You can only work within the scope of Webhooks.

> Plexamp uses [BlurHash](https://blurha.sh/) for the colours. You can query the server for the BlurHash value for the colours. http://IP-ADDRESS:32400/library/metadata/\<ratingKey\>?includeFields=thumbBlurHash,artBlurHash&X-Plex-Token=\<YOUR\_TOKEN\> Which will return something like thumbBlurHash="TLCOIA=xs+}ts,S1EMI;Ne10I@j]" artBlurHash="LmH]n4^MoIb0}pxWSNR+sRWXWrWV" Then you decode it into the colours using the BlurHash library.
