# Authentication (*Authentication*) ## Overview API Calls regarding authentication for Plex Media Server ### Available Operations * [GetTransientToken](#gettransienttoken) - Get a Transient Token * [GetSourceConnectionInformation](#getsourceconnectioninformation) - Get Source Connection Information * [GetTokenDetails](#gettokendetails) - Get Token Details * [PostUsersSignInData](#postuserssignindata) - Get User Sign In Data ## GetTransientToken This endpoint provides the caller with a temporary token with the same access level as the caller's token. These tokens are valid for up to 48 hours and are destroyed if the server instance is restarted. ### Example Usage ```csharp using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK; using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests; using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components; var sdk = new PlexAPI( accessToken: "", clientID: "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40", clientName: "Plex Web", clientVersion: "4.133.0", clientPlatform: "Chrome", deviceName: "Linux" ); var res = await sdk.Authentication.GetTransientTokenAsync( type: LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests.GetTransientTokenQueryParamType.Delegation, scope: LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests.Scope.All ); // handle response ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Type` | [GetTransientTokenQueryParamType](../../Models/Requests/GetTransientTokenQueryParamType.md) | :heavy_check_mark: | `delegation` - This is the only supported `type` parameter. | | `Scope` | [Scope](../../Models/Requests/Scope.md) | :heavy_check_mark: | `all` - This is the only supported `scope` parameter. | ### Response **[GetTransientTokenResponse](../../Models/Requests/GetTransientTokenResponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.GetTransientTokenBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.GetTransientTokenUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.SDKException | 4xx-5xx | */* | ## GetSourceConnectionInformation If a caller requires connection details and a transient token for a source that is known to the server, for example a cloud media provider or shared PMS, then this endpoint can be called. This endpoint is only accessible with either an admin token or a valid transient token generated from an admin token. Note: requires Plex Media Server >= 1.15.4. ### Example Usage ```csharp using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK; using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests; using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components; var sdk = new PlexAPI( accessToken: "", clientID: "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40", clientName: "Plex Web", clientVersion: "4.133.0", clientPlatform: "Chrome", deviceName: "Linux" ); var res = await sdk.Authentication.GetSourceConnectionInformationAsync(source: "server://client-identifier"); // handle response ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | `Source` | *string* | :heavy_check_mark: | The source identifier with an included prefix. | server://client-identifier | ### Response **[GetSourceConnectionInformationResponse](../../Models/Requests/GetSourceConnectionInformationResponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.GetSourceConnectionInformationBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.GetSourceConnectionInformationUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.SDKException | 4xx-5xx | */* | ## GetTokenDetails Get the User data from the provided X-Plex-Token ### Example Usage ```csharp using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK; using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components; var sdk = new PlexAPI( accessToken: "", clientID: "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40", clientName: "Plex Web", clientVersion: "4.133.0", clientPlatform: "Chrome", deviceName: "Linux" ); var res = await sdk.Authentication.GetTokenDetailsAsync(); // handle response ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ | | `serverURL` | *string* | :heavy_minus_sign: | An optional server URL to use. | ### Response **[GetTokenDetailsResponse](../../Models/Requests/GetTokenDetailsResponse.md)** ### Errors | Error Object | Status Code | Content Type | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.GetTokenDetailsBadRequest | 400 | application/json | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.GetTokenDetailsUnauthorized | 401 | application/json | | LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Errors.SDKException | 4xx-5xx | */* | ## PostUsersSignInData Sign in user with username and password and return user data with Plex authentication token ### Example Usage ```csharp using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK; using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests; using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Components; var sdk = new PlexAPI( clientID: "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40", clientName: "Plex Web", clientVersion: "4.133.0", clientPlatform: "Chrome", deviceName: "Linux" ); var res = await sdk.Authentication.PostUsersSignInDataAsync( clientID: "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40", requestBody: new PostUsersSignInDataRequestBody() { Login = "username@email.com", Password = "password123", VerificationCode = "123456", } ); // handle response ``` ### Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `ClientID` | *string* | :heavy_minus_sign: | The unique identifier for the client application
