Webhooks Python Flask

Hello Plex Community

i have struggled for two evenings with flask to get the webhooks working. Maybe some one can also use this as a starting point.

I have used:

  • Python 3 as venv and flask

My Webhook in plex looks like that

http://192.168.188.26:5000/plex

Python Flask Script

from flask import Flask, request
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/plex', methods=['POST'])
def listener():
    data = request.form.getlist('payload')
    m = data[0]
    n = json.dumps(m)
    o = json.loads(n)
    p = json.loads(o)
    print("event : "+p['event'])
    print("user : "+str(p['user']))
    print("owner : "+str(p['owner']))
    print("Account title : "+p["Account"]['title'])
    print("Server title : "+p["Server"]["title"])
    print("Player title : "+p["Player"]["title"])
    print("Metadata librarySectionTitle : "+p["Metadata"]["librarySectionTitle"])
    return "Ack"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True,host='0.0.0.0')

The output looks like that

As shown in the output. This is not for production. Only use this for testing.
Follow the deployment guide on flask. Also use TLS if you are not just in your own network :wink:
