# Verify Access Token

> Validate a JWT before calling protected endpoints.

## Overview

Use this endpoint to confirm a token is still valid (scope + expiry) before making other requests. Helpful for long-running background jobs.

## Request

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "{{ACCOUNT_URL}}/v1/ext/jwt/verify" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
```

## Response (200)

```json theme={null}
{
  "business": {
    "id": "6d7d5a98-15bf-4341-aa68-d1f6fccd47e2",
    "slug": "Fairpuny 02",
    "description": null
  },
  "validation": {
    "scope": "apigateway/authorization",
    "exp": 1706140980406,
    "iat": 1706137380406
  }
}
```

## Notes

* `exp`/`iat` are Unix timestamps (ms).
* If the token is expired, re-run **Generate Access Token**.
