    user = authenticate_user(jwt_user)

The problem with the first request is that you should be sending username and password in a form-data . Instead of x-www-form-urlencoded , use form-data and you should be fine.

I can't see the problem with the second one. Can you try using Swagger interface and see if the same happens there?
