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

Media providers are the starting points for the entire Plex Media Server media library API. It defines the paths for the groups of endpoints. The `/media/providers` should be the only hard-coded path in clients when accessing the media library. Non-media library endpoints are outside the scope of the media provider. See the description in See [the section in API Info](#section/API-Info/Media-Providers) for more information on how to use media providers.
