# webex-teams-jwt-samples

## Overview

Python and JavaScript sample project for [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) showing how to build and authenticate JSON Web Tokens for Cisco Webex Teams.  

Includes 'native' and popular-library examples ([PyJWT](https://pyjwt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) / [jsonwebtoken](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken))

See background information on the Webex Teams [Guest Issuer](https://developer.webex.com/docs/guest-issuer) feature
