# 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

```java
package hello.world;

import dev.plexapi.sdk.PlexAPI;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetTransientTokenBadRequest;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.errors.GetTransientTokenUnauthorized;
import dev.plexapi.sdk.models.operations.*;
import java.lang.Exception;

public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws GetTransientTokenBadRequest, GetTransientTokenUnauthorized, Exception {

        PlexAPI sdk = PlexAPI.builder()
                .accessToken("<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>")
            .build();

        GetTransientTokenResponse res = sdk.authentication().getTransientToken()
                .type(GetTransientTokenQueryParamType.DELEGATION)
                .scope(Scope.ALL)
                .call();

        // 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.
