I have an API that I've built that uses JWT for authorization. How would I go about generating an appropriate JWT using Paw? I could just write a simple app to take in all my info and spit out a JWT, but I would rather be able to put the info in Paw somehow and have it generate the JWT and send it to the API.

To retrieve the User Profile, your mobile application can decode the ID Token using one of the JWT libraries. This is done by verifying the signature and verifying the claims of the token.
JWT is a common way of implementing authentication in web and mobile apps. Read more to know how you can use JWT and learn the necessary best practices. One of the most used authentication standards in web applications is the JSON Web Token standard.
Any API that requires authentication can easily switch over to JWT's authorization. With JWT authorization, you get a user-based authentication. Once the user is authenticated, the user gets a secure token that they can use on all systems. The management of the user (and therefore the token) is centralized.
JWT and OAuth2 are entirely different and serve different purposes, but they are compatible and can be used together. The OAuth2 protocol does not specify the format of the tokens, therefore JWTs can be incorporated into the usage of OAuth2.
You can add an header name Authorization and add the OAuth 2 Autorization in header value.
Then you need put your token at Token - Bearer field. (The selected field in the image bellow.)

The answer to this was staring me in the face since Paw is so powerful. I just used a dynamic value of my login call that produces the JWT. Now my JWT gets included in my headers automatically. More info can be found here: https://luckymarmot.com/paw/doc/Response_Parsed_Body_Dynamic_Value
