An authentication module for node-plex-api that handles the API requests necessary for getting an auth token using a PIN.
The following code retrieves a PIN and waits for the user to enter the PIN on plex.tv so a token can be retrieved. A PIN is valid for 15 minutes and after that this script will timeout.
const PlexPin = require('./index');
/*
* CONFIG
*/
const plexOptions = {
identifier: '123-ABC-456-DEF-789',
product: 'Your Product',
version: '1.0',
deviceName: 'Device Name',
platform: 'Platform Name'
};
const plexPin = new PlexPin(plexOptions);
/*
* Get a PIN
*/
plexPin.getPin().then(pin =>
{
// print pin
console.log(pin.code);
// get token
let ping = setTimeout(function pollToken()
{
plexPin.getToken(pin.id)
.then(res =>
{
// success getting token
if (res.token === true)
{
console.log(res['auth-token']);
return;
}
// failed getting token
else if (res.token === false)
{
console.error('Timeout!');
return;
}
// polling
else
ping = setTimeout(pollToken, 1000);
})
.catch(err => console.error(JSON.stringify(err)));
}, 2000);
})
.catch(err => console.error(err.message));If you only wish to verify a PIN, use the following script:
plexPin.getToken(6566262696).then(res => // fake PIN
{
// success getting token
if (res.token === true)
console.log(res['auth-token']);
// failed getting token
else if (res.token === false)
console.error('Timeout!');
// polling
else
console.error('No token found!');
})
.catch(err => console.error(err.message));The MIT License (MIT)
