Items by name

In addition to library items, there are other related items that can be retrieved by name. These are:

• Genre
• Person
• Studio
• Artist

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.

Querying for items by name

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.
