Apiclient JS

[Guest]

Hey,

 

I would like to ask if someone could make an short idiot proof guide/tutorial how to setup the Emby Javascript Apiclient.

I try around for 2 weeks now and the closest i get is "ApiClient is undefined".

Can someone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated!

 

Greetings

Hi @@cyberplay. We tried to promote a family friendly environment, so please try to refrain from profanity.

 

Once you import the scripts you can just instantiate an ApiClient:

 

                            var apiClient = new ApiClient(serverAddress, appName, appVersion, deviceName,deviceId);

then call methods to talk to emby server

 

apiClient.getPublicSystemInfo().then(...);

I changed my question based on your feedback, and thank you for your kind response.

Need more detail/examples. thanks.

So i got it work and connect, and even login wuhu! Thanks! I was trying since months!

 

Now im standing infront of another problem.

 

You see my code down there:

 

With this, i can get basic information about the server, and get my personal user information.

Now i would like to get all user information, but for this i need the access token, and as you see, i store it in a variable.

Now i thought, i could call the function "setAuthenticationInfo" to set the Access Token on the X-MediaBrowser Token Header to authenticate myself.

But this function doesnt some to work that way i thought it works.

Im searching the apiclient.js now a bit and im not able to find a function which allows me to set that header.

Did i miss something?

 

Thanks for your answer

It does that automatically

May be irrelevant but it doesn't appear you waited for the system info call to complete before attempting to validate a user...

 

Perhaps if you told us exactly what you are trying to accomplish, we could help better.  Thanks.
