Returns the session_token and session_jwt values associated with the logged-in user’s active session. Session tokens are only available if:
  • There is an active session, and
  • The session is not managed via HttpOnly cookies.
If either of these conditions is not met, session.getTokens will return null.
The Stytch SDK stores the session_token and session_jwt values as session cookies in the user’s browser.Those cookies will be automatically included in any request that your frontend makes to a service (such as your backend) that shares the domain set on the cookies, so in most cases, you will not need to explicitly retrieve the session_token and session_jwt values using the getTokens() method.
