How to Implement
1Debug JWT Tokens in API Development
- 1.Paste the JWT token to decode its header and payload.
- 2.Check the 'exp' claim to see when the token expires (Unix timestamp).
- 3.Verify the 'iss' (issuer) matches your expected authentication server.
- 4.Check the 'sub' (subject) contains the correct user ID.
- 5.Review 'aud' (audience) to ensure the token is meant for your API.
- 6.Look for custom claims (roles, permissions) and verify they are correct.
- 7.If debugging auth failures, compare the token's claims against your API's expected values.
- 8.Note: This decodes but does not verify the signature - use your backend's JWT library for validation.
