JavaScript: Retrieve a session

Returns the session, refreshing it if necessary.

• This method retrieves the current local session (i.e local storage).
• The session contains a signed JWT and unencoded session data.
• Since the unencoded session data is retrieved from the local storage medium, do not rely on it as a source of trusted data on the server. It could be tampered with by the sender. If you need verified, trustworthy user data, call getUser instead.
• If the session has an expired access token, this method will use the refresh token to get a new session.

Examples

Get the session data

const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.getSession()
