Plex Events 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 Event. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

The server can notify clients in real-time of a wide range of events, from library scanning, to preferences being modified, to changes to media, and many other things. This is also the mechanism by which activity progress is reported. Two protocols for receiving the events are available: EventSource (also known as SSE), and WebSocket.
