missing or malformed JWT

[suntong]

What does the missing or malformed JWT error mean exactly and how should I fixed it?

I was doing

curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://my.server:5000/api/v1/book' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "author": "the author",
  "book_attrs": {
    "description": "book description",
    "picture": "book picture string",
    "rating": 10
  },
  "book_status": 0,
  "created_at": "2023-08-23",
  "id": "id1",
  "title": "book title",
  "updated_at": "2023-08-24",
  "user_id": "uid2"
}'

and I got:

{
  "error": true,
  "msg": "missing or malformed JWT"
}

What does it mean exactly and how should I fixed it? thx.

Hi,

First, read up on how JWT works. For example, here: https://jwt.io/introduction

Next, your request lacks a header where the previously generated JWT will be passed.
