# 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
* [GetUserDetails](#getuserdetails) - Get User Data By Token
* [PostUsersSignInData](#postuserssignindata) - Get User SignIn 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: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
    xPlexClientIdentifier: "gcgzw5rz2xovp84b4vha3a40"
);

var res = await sdk.Authentication.GetTransientTokenAsync(
    type: LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests.GetTransientTokenQueryParamType.Delegation,
    scope: LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK.Models.Requests.Scope.All
);

// handle response
```

## 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.

```csharp
using LukeHagar.PlexAPI.SDK;
