How to use the REST API via HTTP client

I am currently evaluating AppWrite for a small personal project and I ran into a issue with the REST API.

I am using an HTTP client to evaluate the functionality but the docs seem to be incomplete. I created a user through the dashboard and can successfully log in. A request to /account/sessions/email returns a session token but all endpoints expect a JWT and I can't seem to find any documentation on how to get a JWT on the client-side. If I am not mistaken the /account/jwt endpoint is meant to be used with edge functions.
