FR: add recently added API

I‘m using Ombi for some time now, which takes very long to scan the emby library because it has to scan the whole library again and again. Plex has a recently added api which is being used by Ombi. Wouldn’t it make sense adding it to emby, too? Then external apps don’t need to parse the whole library anymore.

Hi, you can already do this with the querying endpoints that we have.

Hey

But these are based on users aren’t they?

ombi dev told me that:

„The issue is how emby is reporting the recently added stuff. Its not a plain objective list of whats recently added. Emby needs to implement a way to report to things just whats been recently added with nothing else that could affect it. Thats most likely what is missing.“

We have a general querying endpoint that can sort on date added, with filters, etc.

Okay thanks, I will give the info to the Ombi devs.

@Luke

if you have one minute again, would you please tell me which querying endpoint you’re actually referring to so I can include that info at Ombi GitHub?

Hi.  If you are looking for a global one, I believe it would be /Items

Thank you, it was added to Ombi!
