It wraps the standard JWT workflow into a simple JwtClient interface that accepts an application ID and private key, then generates signed tokens with optional custom claims. The package is primarily used internally by the Vonage Python SDK but can also be used standalone for any Vonage API call that requires JWT authentication.\n\nThe package handles cryptographic signing via its runtime dependencies and provides both token generation and signature verification. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.13 and requires no system-level dependencies beyond Python itself, making it straightforward to integrate into existing authentication flows.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building against Vonage APIs and need JWT authentication. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is permissively licensed. It is most useful as a standalone tool when you do not want the full Vonage SDK; if you are already using the SDK, JWT generation happens automatically."},"id":"vonage-jwt","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vonage-jwt","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vonage-jwt.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/vonage-jwt/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-11-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"vonage-jwt","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Tooling for working with JWTs for Vonage APIs in Python."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":399351,"position":6948,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.5"}
