Lord1Egypt Jwt Auth Utils
Overview
JWT is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties.
When to Use This Skill
Use to implement token-based session validation in stateless web APIs.
Quick Start (with runnable code examples)
import jwt
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
SECRET_KEY = "super-secret"
# Create a token
payload = {"user_id": 5814716109, "exp": datetime.now(timezone.utc) + timedelta(hours=1)}
token = jwt.encode(payload, SECRET_KEY, algorithm="HS256")
print("Token:", token)
# Decode a token
decoded = jwt.decode(token, SECRET_KEY, algorithms=["HS256"])
print("Decoded User ID:", decoded["user_id"])
Advanced Usage
Manage token expiration exceptions, refresh token rotation, and RS256 asymmetric signatures.
