### Example Usage

```ruby
require 'plex_ruby_sdk'

s = ::PlexRubySDK::PlexAPI.new(
      security: Models::Shared::Security.new(
        access_token: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
      ),
    )

res = s.authentication.get_transient_token(type=Models::Operations::GetTransientTokenQueryParamType::DELEGATION, scope=Models::Operations::Scope::ALL)

if res.status_code == 200
  # handle response
end

```
