Fetch Token Endpoint (using Express & Admin SDK)

Node.js
require("dotenv").config();

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

const kana = require("@usekana/admin-kana-js");

const kanaClient = new kana.KanaAdmin({
  apiKey: process.env.KANA_API_KEY, // You will need to store this as an environment variable
});

app.post("/kana/token", async function (req, res, next) {
  const userId = req.body.userId;
  const userToken = await kanaClient.users.generateToken({ userId: userId });
  res.status(200).send(userToken);
});
