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

The playlist feature within a media provider Playlists are ordered collections of media. They can be dumb (just a list of media) or smart (based on a media query, such as "all albums from 2017"). They can be organized in (optionally nesting) folders. Retrieving a playlist, or its items, will trigger a refresh of its metadata. This may cause the duration and number of items to change.
