Verifying session token in the backend

Questions
1

I have a NextJs frontend and a python backend. Stytch frontend sdk deals with authenticating the users and stores session_id and session_jwt as cookies. I would like to validate the session jwt received with the request from the fronted. I tried using the session authenticate method, but I keep getting a session not found every time.

from stytch import Client

client = Client(
    project_id="<project_id>",
    secret="<project_secret>",
    environment="test",
)

resp = client.sessions.authenticate(
    session_token="<stytch_session>",
)
print(resp)

What did I do wrong?

Heya! Looks like you’re passing in the JWT as the session_token, instead of the session_jwt. Try giving that a shot!
