JWT Token

[Mohammad Kokhaee]

Hello guys
I've created token by JWT and
My questions
1-how to access to user information by token ?
2-Is that the Right way and is that secure?

Hi,

First step is to authenticate and obtain the token. For instance, lets say your endpoint is /api/token, so it'll only accepts POST requests.

You can use cURL, or HTTPie or Python's requests module to test this.. Heck you can go full commando on this, by building an Angular front..

The response will be of form:

{
    "access": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ0b2tlbl90eXBlIjoiYWNjZXNzIiwiZXhwIjoxNTQ1MjI0MjU5LCJqdGkiOiIyYmQ1NjI3MmIzYjI0YjNmOGI1MjJlNThjMzdjMTdlMSIsInVzZXJfaWQiOjF9.D92tTuVi_YcNkJtiLGHtcn6tBcxLCBxz9FKD3qzhUg8",

    "refresh": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ0b2tlbl90eXBlIjoicmVmcmVzaCIsImV4cCI6MTU0NTMxMDM1OSwianRpIjoiMjk2ZDc1ZDA3Nzc2NDE0ZjkxYjhiOTY4MzI4NGRmOTUiLCJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxfQ.rA-mnGRg71NEW_ga0sJoaMODS5ABjE5HnxJDb0F8xAo"
}

After that you are going to store both the access token and the refresh token on the client side, usually in the localStorage.

In order to access the protected views on the backend (i.e., the API endpoints that require authentication), you should include the access token in the header of all requests, like this:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/hello/ "Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ0b2tlbl90eXBlIjoiYWNjZXNzIiwiZXhwIjoxNTQ1MjI0MjAwLCJqdGkiOiJlMGQxZDY2MjE5ODc0ZTY3OWY0NjM0ZWU2NTQ2YTIwMCIsInVzZXJfaWQiOjF9.9eHat3CvRQYnb5EdcgYFzUyMobXzxlAVh_IAgqyvzCE"

Thats it!

And yes its the proper way of doing things!

Cheers, Ronnie

Thanks for your explanation

 After the user send the token to server 

What Should I do with the token to access to user id and user name and etc .

This is  project is mostly like blog web and when the user authenticate API returns just post of this user .

I don't know how to reach user information with token in views or serializer.

You woulld be having some api/profile endpoint, in your project where user details would be available. Send a post request with access token just like I explained in the previous email and you should get the response with profile details.

token = request. Meta['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']
