Authentication

Overview

API Calls regarding authentication for Plex Media Server

Available Operations

• getTransientToken - Get a Transient Token.

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

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use LukeHagar\Plex_API;
use LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Components;
use LukeHagar\Plex_API\Models\Operations;

$security = new Components\Security();
$security->accessToken = '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>';

$sdk = Plex_API\PlexAPI::builder()
    ->setXPlexClientIdentifier('Postman')
    ->setSecurity($security)->build();

try {

    $response = $sdk->authentication->getTransientToken(Operations\GetTransientTokenQueryParamType::Delegation, Operations\Scope::All);

    if ($response->statusCode === 200) {
        // handle response
    }
} catch (Throwable $e) {
    // handle exception
}

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.

    ->setXPlexClientIdentifier('Postman')
    ->setSecurity($security)->build();

try {

    $response = $sdk->authentication->getSourceConnectionInformation('server://client-identifier');

    if ($response->statusCode === 200) {
        // handle response
    }
} catch (Throwable $e) {
