## Example

```python theme={null}
import valaw
import asyncio

async def main():
    client = valaw.Client("YOUR_TOKEN", "americas")
    try:
        # access_token comes from your OAuth2 callback handler
        access_token = "Bearer <token-from-oauth-flow>"
        account = await client.GET_getByAccessToken(access_token)
        print(f"Authenticated as: {account.gameName}#{account.tagLine}")
    finally:
        await client.close()

asyncio.run(main())
```
