To receive a new set of tokens, perform a token exchange through a POST request to the token endpoint. Remember to always save the new refresh_token in the database, since the old one will be invalid. 

Access tokens are opaque - they are random strings that you cannot decode. Validation should only be performed on the id_token . You do not have to validate the access token before using it.

const data = new URLSearchParams();
data.append("refresh_token", "<your refresh token>");
data.append("client_id", "<your client id>");
data.append("grant_type", "refresh_token");
fetch("https://login.klarna.com/eu/lp/idp/oauth2/token", {
	method: "POST",
	headers: {
		"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
	},
	body: data

At any point of time you can request the latest user data using the /userinfo endpoint. It requires a valid access_token as authorization and returns the same data structure as you can find in the id_token . Remember to get the fresh access_token , described in step 5. Integrate in purchase flow, using /userinfo .

fetch("https://login.klarna.com/eu/lp/idp/userinfo", {
  headers: {
    Authorization: "Bearer <access token>",
  }
})

Validate id_token : validating an OAuth 2.0 token using a JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) endpoint, such as the one provided by Klarna, involves several steps. Here's an outline of how you might proceed.

• Retrieve JWKS - Make a HTTP GET request to the JWKS endpoint to retrieve the public keys. The response should be a JSON object containing a keys array.
• Parse JWKS - parse the JSON response to extract the keys, which will be in JWK (JSON Web Key) format.
• Decode access token - decode the access token to obtain the header, which contains the Key ID or kid , which identifies the key within the JWKS that was used to sign the token.
• Find the signing key - use the kid from the token's header to find the corresponding key in JWKS .
• Verify signature - use the public key to verify the signature of the access_token . This usually requires using a library that supports JWT and the necessary cryptographic algorithms.
• Check claims - if the signature is valid, check the claims in the verified token to ensure they meet your requirements. Make sure to verify expiration time, audience, issuer and the signing algorithm.

Please find below a full implementation example in Node.

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const jwkToPem = require('jwk-to-pem');

async function verifyTokenWithJWKS(token, jwksUri) {
  try {
    // Decode the token header without verification
    const { header } = jwt.decode(token, { complete: true });
    if (!header || !header.kid) {
      throw new Error('Invalid token header');
    }
