## Example

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

async def main():
    client = valaw.Client("YOUR_TOKEN", "americas")
    try:
        account = await client.GET_getByPuuid("player-puuid-here")
        print(f"{account.gameName}#{account.tagLine}")
    finally:
        await client.close()

asyncio.run(main())
```

<Note>
  The PUUID is a persistent identifier that stays the same even if a player changes their Riot ID.
