# Decode without verification (just to read payload)
payload = jwt.decode(token, options={"verify_signature": False})
print(json.dumps(payload, indent=2))
# Decode header
header = jwt.get_unverified_header(token)
print(json.dumps(header, indent=2))Quick Setup
Library: PyJWT
pip install pyjwtPython Tips & Best Practices
- Use options={'verify_signature': False} for decoding only
- Always verify signatures in production with a secret key
- jwt.decode(token, key, algorithms=['HS256']) for verified decode
