Retries
Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.
To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a retry.Config
object to the call by using the WithRetries
option:
package main
import (
"context"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo/retry"
"log"
"models/operations"
)
func main() {
s := plexgo.New(
plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
plexgo.WithClientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58"),
plexgo.WithClientName("Plex for Roku"),
plexgo.WithClientVersion("2.4.1"),
plexgo.WithPlatform("Roku"),
plexgo.WithDeviceNickname("Roku 3"),
)
ctx := context.Background()
res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx, operations.WithRetries(
retry.Config{
Strategy: "backoff",
Backoff: &retry.BackoffStrategy{
InitialInterval: 1,
MaxInterval: 50,
Exponent: 1.1,
MaxElapsedTime: 100,
},
RetryConnectionErrors: false,
}))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
if res.Object != nil {
// handle response
}
}
If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can use the WithRetryConfig
option at SDK initialization:
package main
import (
"context"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo/retry"
"log"
)
func main() {
s := plexgo.New(
plexgo.WithRetryConfig(
retry.Config{
Strategy: "backoff",
Backoff: &retry.BackoffStrategy{
InitialInterval: 1,
MaxInterval: 50,
Exponent: 1.1,
MaxElapsedTime: 100,
},
RetryConnectionErrors: false,
}),
plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
plexgo.WithClientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58"),
plexgo.WithClientName("Plex for Roku"),
plexgo.WithClientVersion("2.4.1"),
plexgo.WithPlatform("Roku"),
plexgo.WithDeviceNickname("Roku 3"),
)
ctx := context.Background()
res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
if res.Object != nil {
// handle response
}
}
Error Handling
Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or an error, they will never return both.
By Default, an API error will return sdkerrors.SDKError
. When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also return their associated error. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible error types for each operation.
For example, the GetServerCapabilities
function may return the following errors:
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
sdkerrors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest | 400 | application/json |
sdkerrors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized | 401 | application/json |
sdkerrors.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | */* |
Example
package main
import (
"context"
"errors"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo/models/sdkerrors"
"log"
)
func main() {
s := plexgo.New(
plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
plexgo.WithClientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58"),
plexgo.WithClientName("Plex for Roku"),
plexgo.WithClientVersion("2.4.1"),
plexgo.WithPlatform("Roku"),
plexgo.WithDeviceNickname("Roku 3"),
)
ctx := context.Background()
res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx)
if err != nil {
var e *sdkerrors.GetServerCapabilitiesBadRequest
if errors.As(err, &e) {
// handle error
log.Fatal(e.Error())
}
var e *sdkerrors.GetServerCapabilitiesUnauthorized
if errors.As(err, &e) {
// handle error
log.Fatal(e.Error())
}
var e *sdkerrors.SDKError
if errors.As(err, &e) {
// handle error
log.Fatal(e.Error())
}
}
}
Server Selection
Server Variables
The default server {protocol}://{ip}:{port}
contains variables and is set to https://10.10.10.47:32400
by default. To override default values, the following options are available when initializing the SDK client instance:
WithProtocol(protocol ServerProtocol)
WithIP(ip string)
WithPort(port string)
Override Server URL Per-Client
The default server can also be overridden globally using the WithServerURL(serverURL string)
option when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
package main
import (
"context"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
"log"
)
func main() {
s := plexgo.New(
plexgo.WithServerURL("https://10.10.10.47:32400"),
plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
plexgo.WithClientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58"),
plexgo.WithClientName("Plex for Roku"),
plexgo.WithClientVersion("2.4.1"),
plexgo.WithPlatform("Roku"),
plexgo.WithDeviceNickname("Roku 3"),
)
ctx := context.Background()
res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
if res.Object != nil {
// handle response
}
}
Override Server URL Per-Operation
The server URL can also be overridden on a per-operation basis, provided a server list was specified for the operation. For example:
package main
import (
"context"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo/models/operations"
"log"
)
func main() {
s := plexgo.New(
plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
plexgo.WithClientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58"),
plexgo.WithClientName("Plex for Roku"),
plexgo.WithClientVersion("2.4.1"),
plexgo.WithPlatform("Roku"),
plexgo.WithDeviceNickname("Roku 3"),
)
ctx := context.Background()
res, err := s.Plex.GetCompanionsData(ctx, operations.WithServerURL("https://plex.tv/api/v2"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
if res.ResponseBodies != nil {
// handle response
}
}
Custom HTTP Client
The Go SDK makes API calls that wrap an internal HTTP client. The requirements for the HTTP client are very simple. It must match this interface:
type HTTPClient interface {
Do(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
}
The built-in net/http
client satisfies this interface and a default client based on the built-in is provided by default. To replace this default with a client of your own, you can implement this interface yourself or provide your own client configured as desired. Here's a simple example, which adds a client with a 30 second timeout.
import (
"net/http"
"time"
"github.com/myorg/your-go-sdk"
)
var (
httpClient = &http.Client{Timeout: 30 * time.Second}
sdkClient = sdk.New(sdk.WithClient(httpClient))
)
This can be a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration.
Authentication
Per-Client Security Schemes
This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
Name | Type | Scheme |
---|---|---|
AccessToken | apiKey | API key |
You can configure it using the WithSecurity
option when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
package main
import (
"context"
"github.com/LukeHagar/plexgo"
"log"
)
func main() {
s := plexgo.New(
plexgo.WithSecurity("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>"),
plexgo.WithClientID("3381b62b-9ab7-4e37-827b-203e9809eb58"),
plexgo.WithClientName("Plex for Roku"),
plexgo.WithClientVersion("2.4.1"),
plexgo.WithPlatform("Roku"),
plexgo.WithDeviceNickname("Roku 3"),
)
ctx := context.Background()
res, err := s.Server.GetServerCapabilities(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
if res.Object != nil {
// handle response
}
}
Special Types
This SDK defines the following custom types to assist with marshalling and unmarshalling data.
Date
types.Date
is a wrapper around time.Time that allows for JSON marshaling a date string formatted as "2006-01-02".
Usage
d1 := types.NewDate(time.Now()) // returns *types.Date
d2 := types.DateFromTime(time.Now()) // returns types.Date
d3, err := types.NewDateFromString("2019-01-01") // returns *types.Date, error
d4, err := types.DateFromString("2019-01-01") // returns types.Date, error
d5 := types.MustNewDateFromString("2019-01-01") // returns *types.Date and panics on error
d6 := types.MustDateFromString("2019-01-01") // returns types.Date and panics on error
Development
Maturity
This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.
Contributions
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Feel free to open a PR or a Github issue as a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release!
