Python: Retrieve a user

• This method fetches the user object from the database instead of local session.
• This method is useful for checking if the user is authorized because it validates the user's access token JWT on the server.
• The User model includes the following fields (since v2.28.0): is_sso_user (bool, defaults to False), deleted_at (optional string), and banned_until (optional string) in addition to the existing fields.

Parameters

• jwt

  (Optional)

  Takes in an optional access token JWT. If no JWT is provided, the JWT from the current session is used.

Examples

Get the signed-in user with the current existing session

response = supabase.auth.get_user()

Get the signed-in user with a custom access token jwt

response = supabase.auth.get_user(jwt)
