It initiates an authentication request, generates a URL for the user to complete login in a browser, then polls Plex.tv for the resulting access token. The library wraps this flow in an async context manager, making it suitable for integration into async applications that need to authenticate with Plex without blocking.\n\nThe package depends only on aiohttp and is designed to be lightweight. However, it has been dormant since its last release on 2020-11-11, with the most recent commit on 2023-12-30. While no vulnerabilities are known, the lack of active maintenance means it may not track changes to Plex.tv's authentication API or support newer Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Plex.tv authentication in an async context and are willing to accept dormant maintenance. The package is simple, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. However, verify that Plex.tv's current API still matches the implementation before deploying to production, and be prepared to fork or patch if the authentication flow changes."},"id":"plexauth","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plexauth","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plexauth.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/plexauth/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-11-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"plexauth","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Handles the authorization flow to obtain tokens from Plex.tv via external redirection."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":111375,"position":12420,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.6"}
