Items by name
In addition to library items, there are other related items that can be retrieved by name. These are:
- Artist
- Genre
- Person
- Studio
These can be retrieved individually on a per-name basis, e.g.
/Persons/{Name}
This will return an item with identical structure to normal library items. From there images can be downloaded as necessary. See the built-in documentation for all the related endpoints and parameters.
In addition to individual retrieval, there are querying endpoints that will return lists of these items.
/Artists
/Genres
/Persons
/Studios
These can be retrieved from the entire library, or limited to a specific folder, or limited to specific item types. For example, the following query will return all movie genres within a user's library:
/Genres?IncludeItemTypes=Movie&Recursive=true&userId=xxx
As with media item querying, these endpoints also support paging, filtering, sorting and configurable output fields. See the build-in documentation for details.
The image endpoint locations are different, but function identically:
- /Persons/{Name}/Images/{Type}
- /Persons/{Name}/Images/{Type}/{Index}
