Jellyfin not accepting Item Update API call - ram - 2024-09-07
I'm trying to update Names for Items with the Jellyfin API but keep getting 400 errors. Looking through the API docs, I can't find any fields marked as required, though even when I fill what I can, I'm finding myself with this problem.
Here's my python script, stripped down to my fundamental problem:
Code:
import urllib.request
import urllib.parse
import json
headers = {
"Authorization": "MediaBrowser Token=xxxx",
"Content-Type":"application/json",
}
update_url = "http://localhost:8096/Items/0004fcba40a043393e8c671a3b1898e9"
data = {
"Name":"sure",
}
update_request = urllib.request.Request(url=update_url, method="POST", headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data).encode("utf-8"))
update_response = urllib.request.urlopen(update_request)
print(update_response.read().decode('utf-8'))Any help is appreciated!

I altered the payload so it now fills out every field in the post request, but it's still 400 erroring. The payload I'm working with becomes:

}I also tried on the endpoint /Users/{userId]/Items/{itemId} to a 405 error, presumably because that endpoint's now deprecated as of 9.10?

You need to fill in all the fields. So normally you first GET the item, change the things you want to change and then POST it.
RE: Jellyfin not accepting Item Update API call - itai shufman - 2024-10-19
i seem to have the same problem and getting the item first isnt solving it.
import requests
auth = 'MediaBrowser Token="my_api_token"'
server = 'http://127.0.0.1:8096'
uri = f"/Items?parentId=some_playlist_id&fields=Path"
videos = requests.get(f'{server}{uri}',headers={'Authorization': auth}).json()
for vid in videos['Items']:
vid['Name'] = custom_parsing_function(vid['Path'])
update_uri = f"/Items/{vid['Id']}"
resp = requests.post(f'{server}{update_uri}',headers={'Authorization': auth}, json=vid)
i get status code 400 back.
is this because i include the "path" in thhe GET command?
