So I create jwt on the frontend for the user:
const promise = account.createJWT();

How do I retrieve it on the backend?

client
    .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    .setProject('[PROJECT_ID]')                // Your project ID
    .setJWT('eyJJ9.eyJ...886ca');               // Your secret JSON Web Token

Summary

The user wants to know how to retrieve a JWT on the server. The JWT can be obtained from the `APPWRITE_FUNCTION_JWT` variable. To retrieve the JWT on the backend, use the `setJWT` function and pass the JWT as a parameter.

If a user is execution the function then any time is doing so a fresh JWT will be sent to you inside the APPWRITE_FUNCTION_JWT variable.

Like so

JavaScript

  .setJWT(req.variables.APPWRITE_FUNCTION_JWT ?? '')
