trying to get account using jwt
server side script
TypeScript
async function verifyJWT(token) {
if (!token) throw new Error("No JWT token provided");
try {
const res = await axios.get(`${ENDPOINT}/account`, {
headers: {
"X-Appwrite-Project": PROJECT_ID,
"Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`,
},
});
return res.data;
} catch (err) {
console.error("Failed to fetch account data:", err.response?.data || err.message);
throw new Error("Invalid JWT or unable to fetch account");
}
}
TypeScript
Failed to fetch account data: {
message: 'User (role: guests) missing scope (account)',
code: 401,
type: 'general_unauthorized_scope',
version: '1.8.0'
}
Socket auth failed: Invalid JWT or unable to fetch account
~ client side is logged in ~ method of getting jwt below
TypeScript
const jwtResponse = await account.createJWT();
TL;DR
Developers are trying to get an account using a JWT but are facing a 401 error related to missing scope 'account'. The issue lies with the user role not having the necessary scope. The solution would be to update the user's role to include the 'account' scope.
