# Session TokenAPI

The API for interacting with session tokens.

## StandardApi

The base API object provided to this and other `customer-account` extension targets.

* sessionToken

  SessionToken

  required

  Provides access to session tokens, which can be used to verify token claims on your app's server.

  See [session token examples](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/apis/session-token#examples) for more information.

### SessionToken

* get

  Requests a session token that hasn't expired. You should call this method every time you need to make a request to your backend in order to get a valid token. This method will return cached tokens when possible, so you don’t need to worry about storing these tokens yourself.

  ```ts
  () => Promise<string>
  ```

```ts
export interface SessionToken {
  /**
   * Requests a session token that hasn't expired. You should call this method every
   * time you need to make a request to your backend in order to get a valid token.
   * This method will return cached tokens when possible, so you don’t need to worry
   * about storing these tokens yourself.
   */
  get(): Promise<string>;
}
```
