Once your application has successfully configured authentication settings, users can update and take actions with resources they own per the following flow.
1

Request a user key for a user

Make a request to the Privy API with the user’s access token to request a user key. If the token is valid per your configured authentication settings, Privy will return a time-bound user key that can be used to sign requests.
2

Sign the request with the user key

Given the returned user key, sign the request to update or take actions with a resource the user owns.
3

Pass the signature in request headers

Lastly, pass the signature from the user key in a privy-authorization-signature header for the request. Privy will verify the signature and execute the request only if the signature is valid.
Follow the guide below to learn how to request and use user keys from the Privy API.
