parse jwt tokens in python

To parse JWT tokens in Python, you can use the PyJWT library. Here is an example:

main.py
import jwt

# JWT token to be parsed
token = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c"

# Decode the JWT token
decoded_token = jwt.decode(token, verify=False)

# Print the decoded token
print(decoded_token)
323 chars
11 lines

In this example, jwt.decode() function decodes the JWT token and returns a dictionary with the token's payload. The third argument verify=False is set to ignore the signature, which might not be necessary if you just want to validate the token's structure and content.

Note that the jwt.decode() function can raise exceptions if there is an issue with the token, such as an invalid signature, token expired or invalid structure, so be sure to handle them appropriately based on your use case.
