API Documentation

Hi all, is there any documentation around MediaBrowser API (C#), more so, around Collections,  what I would like to know is:

• Creating/Deleting Collections.
• Adding/Removing Items.

 

Currently I am in the context of of Folder (Collection) which I get by

	public Folder FindCollection(User user, string collectionName)
        {
            return _libraryManager.GetItemsResult(new InternalItemsQuery
            {
                Name = collectionName,
                IncludeItemTypes = new[] { "collections", "Boxset" },
                User = user ////try using the user with policy.IsAdministator for testing               
            }).Items.OfType<Folder>().FirstOrDefault();
        }

Which gives me reference to the Collection, is this the correct way, or should I be casting to another type?

Hi.  The API is documented automatically.  See the link at the bottom of your dashboard.

Thanks Ebr, but unless I misread it, that seemed to be the docs for the rest api. But all good I eventually figured it out :)

Oh, sorry, you are talking about creating a plug-in.  I read too fast.  The public plug-ins are the best source of examples there.  Thanks.

To answer the question, you can make use of MediaBrowser.Controller.Collections.ICollectionManager to manipulate collections.
