# Authentication via OAuth
## Usage
Before using any methods which require authentication, you have to authenticate the session:
```js
// 'auth-pending' is fired with the info needed to sign in via OAuth.
yt.session.on('auth-pending', data => {
// data.verification_url contains the URL to visit to authenticate.
// data.user_code contains the code to enter on the website.
});
// 'auth' is fired once the authentication is complete
yt.session.on('auth', () => {
console.log('Sign in successful');
});
await session.signIn();
```
### Cache Credentials
If you don't wish to sign in every time you start the session, you can cache the credentials:
```js
// If you use this, the next call to signIn won't fire 'auth-pending' instead just 'auth'
await yt.session.oauth.cacheCredentials();
```
**Note:** When using cached credentials, you are still required to make a call to `Session#signIn`.
### Sign Out
The sign out method may be used to sign out of the current session. This should also remove the cached credentials.
```js
await yt.session.signOut();
// if you don't want to sign out of the current session
// and only want to delete the cached credentials, use:
await yt.session.oauth.removeCache();
```
