How to start with Emby API?

[jasl8 0]

Hi!

 

I am developing a new UWP app for smárt homes that will use Emby as the main media module. Where can I find resources with sample UWP app code and Wiki or docs on how to start?

 

Thanks,

Laszlo

Should look at the Github repositories... This might be of interest - https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.ApiClient

Hi!

 

So I need help with connecting to the API, this doesn't seem to work.. any idea? The sample code is too "general" and I didn't found the API doc either.

 

I don't even know how to implement the Logger interface, because I didn't find any doc.

 

var client = new ApiClient(null, "http://localhost:8096","EmbyTestClient", null);

 

Any sample code?

 

Thanks,

Laszlo

You can find api docs here:

What you probably want to do is look at the available methods on ApiClient that you can call against an Emby Server. The C# ApiClient does not have the complete set of methods but it has a fair portion of them.

Thanks for the quick answer. Now I find that the built in swagger link doesn't work, the server returns with this line on a white page: "Oneor more errors occurred." I installed the default server on localhost:8096. Can you confirm it works on your machine or I might be bumping into a bug in latest build?

No, swagger is currently out of commission in the latest release. It will be restored in a future update. The easiest way to view available methods is just to check out the js api library. It has most of the api and is easy to read:

Swagger will be back for the next release and will look better than ever:
