Get all TV Show ID's in Library?

[EatSleepCodeDel 5]

Hi all!

I am looking for an API endpoint where I can list all IDs of TV Shows or Movies in a library. I have looked at the docs, swagger.emby.media, and Googled and can't find anything to enumerate this data.

For context, I want to develop a small companion tool to dynamically manage collections based on metadata of TV shows and movies. For this to work, I need to iterate over each show or movie in a library, parse the data and add matching items to collections.

Apologies in advance if this is an `ID10T` error.

Thanks!

hi, what have you done so far?

Not a whole lot currently. I have been using curl to validate endpoints and their schema. e.g.

curl -X GET "http://<IP-ADDRESS>:8096/emby/Shows/290934/Episodes?api_key=${EMBY_TOKEN}"

I have been able to get valid responses, so I know the API is accessible in my environment and I can validate against it. What I want (in an ideal world) would be able to hit an endpoint like:

curl -X GET "http://<IP-ADDRESS>:8096/emby/libraries/tv_shows/entries?api_key=${EMBY_TOKEN}"

and get a response like:

{
  "TV Shows" : 
    [
      {
        "Title" : "foo",
        "ID" : "1234",
        "Genre" : "Comedy",
        "Studio" : "HBO"
      },
      {
        "Title" : "bar",
        "ID" : "4321",
        "Genre" : "Drama",
        "Studio" : "Netflix"
      }
    ],
  "page" : 1,
  "pages_total": 15
}

A single API call per 'page' of library entries would be ideal. I could then enumerate over the pages and parse the data in weird and wonderful ways, but I know this may not be possible. I would be happy with a way to query what is in my TV Shows or Movies library and have it return the IDs of the shows and movies in them. Is this possible?

Thank you!

I usually use the "GET /Users/{UserId}/Items" endpoint for this

Thanks for the suggestion, hthgihwaymonk. Unfortunately, that is not what I am after. I need to be able to get the IDs of each show or movie so I can then make calls to endpoints such as `/Shows/{Id}/Episodes`

try this:

{emby_server_url}/emby/Items?ParentId={parent_id}&api_key={api_key}

Thank you very much, AbOoOdY! That did the trick!
