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.
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. However, we offer this method to serve some unique use cases where explicitly retrieving the tokens is necessary.Response
