Pages Router API Routes

To support gradual adoption of the latest Next.js features, next-firebase-auth-edge offers the getApiRequestTokens function. This function is designed to work with getServerSideProps and API Routes (opens in a new tab).

The getApiRequestTokens function works similarly to getTokens, but it's specifically for extracting cookie information from the req object.

import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next";
import { getApiRequestTokens } from "next-firebase-auth-edge";
 
export default async function handler(
  req: NextApiRequest,
  res: NextApiResponse
) {
  const tokens = await getApiRequestTokens(req, {
    apiKey: 'XXxxXxXXXxXxxxxx_XxxxXxxxxxXxxxXXXxxXxX',
    cookieName: 'AuthToken',
    cookieSignatureKeys: ['Key-Should-Be-at-least-32-bytes-in-length'],
    serviceAccount: {
      projectId: 'your-firebase-project-id',
      clientEmail: 'firebase-adminsdk-nnw48@your-firebase-project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com',
      privateKey: '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n'
    }
  });
 
  if (!tokens) {
    throw new Error('Unauthenticated');
  }
 
  return res.status(200).json({ tokens });
}
