Get JwtToken

Estimated reading: 3 minutes 257 views

The Get Jwt Token activity enables you to retrieve tokens configured from the Robility Manager vault for a specified project.

What is a JWT Token?

When interacting with APIs or web applications through REST services, a JWT (JSON Web Token) is commonly used for authentication and authorization between the automation activity and the target application. By using JWT, the need to log in with credentials for every request is eliminated, enabling secure and seamless access to protected resources.

In Robility, this token is primarily leveraged within the “WebClient – REST” activity. Unlike a regular token, a JWT is self-contained and includes all the necessary claims within the token itself. This makes it more secure and efficient, as it does not require database verification for each request—the token’s integrity can be validated directly using its digital signature.
