Obtain a Plex token

How to Get Your Plex Token

Some Wizarr features require your Plex authentication token. Here’s the simplest way to find it.

1. Open Plex in Your Browser

2. Right-Click Any Item

  • Right-click on a movie, show, or library item.

  • Click View Info

  • Select View XML

3. Copy the Token

  • The XML page will open in a new tab.

  • Look at the URL in the address bar.

  • At the very end you’ll see X-Plex-Token=...

Example:

https://<server>:32400/library/metadata/12345?X-Plex-Token=abcd1234efgh5678

The part after X-Plex-Token= is your Plex token.

4. Keep It Safe

  • Do not share this token publicly — it grants access to your Plex server.

  • If it’s ever compromised, you can revoke it by signing out of all devices in your Plex account settings.
