Getting Raise TypeError: Expected a string value in python jwt

Question

Not been able to generate token because of this error

if check_password_hash(user.password, auth.password):
        token = jwt.encode({'public_id':user.public_id,'exp':
        datetime.datetime.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(minutes=30)},app.config['SECRET_KEY'])
        print(token)

        return jsonify({'token':token.decode("UTF-8")})

Check if user object is actuallly getting in, check if SECRET_KEY is defined. Also remove the print(token) before the return everything else looks good. — Eddwin Paz

Yes @EddwinPaz SECRET_KEY is defined. After removing print(token) error is same. I cant find why it is asking for string value. — sha123

You should add

JWT_SECRET_KEY="some_random_string"

in settings.py file and it will run fine
