Accessing my Jira plugin apis from an external application

Hello,

Please, I would like to know the best way to access/call my backend APIs from an external application. For example, say in my connect plugin app that uses JWT authentication, I have an API call “/api/get/info”.

How can I generate a JWT access token externally (e.g. from a Forge app) to enable me to call my backend?

Hi!
Also all comments regarding cross-platform (Jira-Confluence) apps security know-how is welcomed. How to get data in one application (e.g. Jira) app by accessing another apps (in Confluence) rest api-s. Sharing shared secrets somehow?!?

tnx,
