`GET /{workspace}/plugins/{PluginId}#Jwt`

Get a Jwt plugin

## Response `200`

Jwt plugin

- JwtPlugin — A Plugin entity represents a plugin configuration that will be executed during the HTTP request/response lifecycle. It is how you can add functionalities to Services that run behind Kong, like Authentication or Rate Limiting for example. You can find more information about how to install and what values each plugin takes by visiting the [Kong Hub](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/). When adding a Plugin Configuration to a Service, every request made by a client to that Service will run said Plugin. If a Plugin needs to be tuned to different values for some specific Consumers, you can do so by creating a separate plugin instance that specifies both the Service and the Consumer, through the `service` and `consumer` fields.
  - `condition` string, nullable — An expression used for conditional control over plugin execution. If the expression evaluates to `true` during the request flow, the plugin is executed; otherwise, it is skipped.
  - `created_at` integer, nullable — Unix epoch when the resource was created.
  - `enabled` boolean, nullable — Whether the plugin is applied.
  - `id` string, nullable — A string representing a UUID (universally unique identifier).
  - `instance_name` string, nullable — A unique string representing a UTF-8 encoded name.
  - `name` 'jwt', required — The name of the Plugin that's going to be added. Currently, the Plugin must be installed in every Kong instance separately.
  - `ordering` object, nullable
    - `after` object
      - `access` string[]
    - `before` object
      - `access` string[]
  - `partials` object[] — A list of partials to be used by the plugin.
    - `id` string — A string representing a UUID (universally unique identifier).
    - `name` string — A unique string representing a UTF-8 encoded name.
    - `path` string
  - `tags` string[], nullable — An optional set of strings associated with the Plugin for grouping and filtering.
  - `updated_at` integer, nullable — Unix epoch when the resource was last updated.
  - `config` object
    - `anonymous` string — An optional string (consumer UUID or username) value to use as an “anonymous” consumer if authentication fails.
    - `claims_to_verify` string[] — A list of registered claims (according to RFC 7519) that Kong can verify as well. Accepted values: one of exp or nbf.
    - `cookie_names` string[] — A list of cookie names that Kong will inspect to retrieve JWTs.
    - `header_names` string[] — A list of HTTP header names that Kong will inspect to retrieve JWTs.
    - `key_claim_name` string — The name of the claim in which the key identifying the secret must be passed. The plugin will attempt to read this claim from the JWT payload and the header, in that order.
    - `maximum_expiration` number — A value between 0 and 31536000 (365 days) limiting the lifetime of the JWT to maximum_expiration seconds in the future.
    - `realm` string — When authentication fails the plugin sends `WWW-Authenticate` header with `realm` attribute value.
    - `run_on_preflight` boolean — A boolean value that indicates whether the plugin should run (and try to authenticate) on OPTIONS preflight requests. If set to false, then OPTIONS requests will always be allowed.
    - `secret_is_base64` boolean — If true, the plugin assumes the credential’s secret to be base64 encoded. You will need to create a base64-encoded secret for your Consumer, and sign your JWT with the original secret.
    - `uri_param_names` string[] — A list of querystring parameters that Kong will inspect to retrieve JWTs.
  - `protocols` string[] — A set of strings representing HTTP protocols.
  - `route` object — If set, the plugin will only activate when receiving requests via the specified route. Leave unset for the plugin to activate regardless of the route being used.
    - `id` string
  - `service` object — If set, the plugin will only activate when receiving requests via one of the routes belonging to the specified Service. Leave unset for the plugin to activate regardless of the Service being matched.
    - `id` string

## Other responses

- `401` — Unauthorized
- `404` — Resource does not exist
