next.js server => api

Hi, I’m working on a smaller project with some friends for planning our board game events. I’m in the middle of doing some auth when connecting my next.js server component with my next.js api, and I’m unable to use getKindeServerSession to get a valid session? The request when doing the original fetch is authenticated. What do you need to know to show me the way? 👀

Hi @VeryGingerBear Are you using the Next.js SDK? If so what version?

Hi, I'm using the Next.js SDK, "@kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs": "^2.3.6" I'm using App Router. I am doing a fetch request from my server component, which is able to get the authenticated user.

  const { isAuthenticated } = getKindeServerSession();
  const isAuth = await isAuthenticated();
  //User is authenticated here.
  if (!isAuth) {
    return null;
  }

  const events = await getEvents();

  const { isAuthenticated } = getKindeServerSession();
  const isAuth = await isAuthenticated();
  //User is authenticated here.
  if (!isAuth) {
    return null;
  }

  const events = await getEvents();

In the API route that this fetch call goes to I do not get a user.

export async function GET(req: NextRequest) {
  const { getUser, isAuthenticated } = getKindeServerSession(req);
  const isAuth = await isAuthenticated();
  const user = await getUser();

export async function GET(req: NextRequest) {
  const { getUser, isAuthenticated } = getKindeServerSession(req);
  const isAuth = await isAuthenticated();
  const user = await getUser();

I haven't found documentation on how the fetch request should be structured, if the Bearer token should be passed explicitly or not etc.

Hi @VeryGingerBear just wondering if you tried Sam's recommendations, and if it worked?

I tried adding debug, other than that I think the code above is pretty close?

CB_Kinde•3mo ago

Sorry, which code? Are you still not getting the user?

VeryGingerBearOP•3mo ago

Two messages above? Can’t you see that message?

Hey @VeryGingerBear very sorry I have let this thread go stale. I'm hoping you have solved the issue. If not please let me know where things are at and I'll revive efforts to resolve.
