JWT Validation

Use this API to validate a JWT token. The validation endpoint is available via both HTTP GET and HTTP POST.

Endpoint: /api/v1/auth/validate

The JWT can be passed in one of two ways:

Method	Example
Authorization header	Authorization: Bearer {JWT}
URL query parameter	?_jwt={JWT}

Both methods work with either GET or POST requests.
