API Keys - how to use? - jellyfin - 2025-11-28
I generated an API key to be able to start rescans of the libraries or a specific library from scripts.
But I cannot find the required syntax to actually trigger that.
For example, with Syncthing, you can use the REST API like this:
curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: <API_KEY>" -k "https://127.0.0.1:8384/rest/db/scan?folder=FOLDER&sub=SUB_FOLDER"
How to do something like this with Jellyfin?
