I have a NextJS app, Supertoken is running on the frontend, Supertoken is running on the NextJS API route, the core is running in Docker. Now I have a separate API running Fastify, I would like to use the

Authorization: Bearer

method to verify session on the separate Fastify API, how can I extract the access token from the frontend to include in the headers? Is there a hook available for it? I can't seem to find it. Also, is my idea even possible? Can I verifySession on another API that doesn't not run Supertokens backend?

Hi @Justine What frontend SDK and version are you using?

frontend SDK for NextJS, I'm using

supertokens-auth-react

version

^0.32.3

Happy to help. The Session recipe exposes a

getAccessToken

function on the frontend that gives you the access token. You can attach that as a bearer token to requests.

interesting! I tried the

getAccessToken

function but it returns me

undefined

. Let's me try again, maybe I'll record a short video. Would you be free for a quick Discord channel call?

What version of supertokens-node are you using?

^14.0.2

You can set

exposeAccessTokenToFrontendInCookieBasedAuth

to true when initialising the Session recipe. This will let the frontend read the access token

interesting! Ok let me try, will report back in 5 mins

Awesome, glad you got it working
