Plex

Plex Account and Authentication API

The plex.tv cloud API that issues and refreshes the credentials every Plex Media Server call depends on: PIN-based device linking, JWK public-key registration, nonce issuance, device-JWT exchange for a 7-day Plex JWT, and the published JWKS. Legacy long-lived X-Plex-Token authentication is still supported.
