Plex Activities API is one of 31 APIs that [Plex](https://apis.io/providers/plex/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Activities. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

Activities provide a way to monitor and control asynchronous operations on the server. In order to receive real-time updates for activities, a client would normally subscribe via either EventSource or Websocket endpoints. Activities are associated with HTTP replies via a special `X-Plex-Activity` header which contains the UUID of the activity. Activities are optional cancellable. If cancellable, they may be cancelled via the `DELETE` endpoint.
