So for convex auth

import { fetchQuery } from "convex/nextjs";
import { api } from "../../convex/_generated/api";
import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next";

// Example: Extract token from cookies (adjust as needed for your setup)
export default async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
  const token = req.cookies["your-auth-cookie"]; // Replace with your actual cookie name

  // Pass the token to fetchQuery
  const user = await fetchQuery(api.users.getCurrent, {}, { token });

  if (!user) {
    res.status(401).json({ error: "Not authenticated" });
    return;
  }

  res.status(200).json({ user });
}

import { fetchQuery } from "convex/nextjs";
import { api } from "../../convex/_generated/api";
import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next";

// Example: Extract token from cookies (adjust as needed for your setup)
export default async function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
  const token = req.cookies["your-auth-cookie"]; // Replace with your actual cookie name

  // Pass the token to fetchQuery
  const user = await fetchQuery(api.users.getCurrent, {}, { token });

  if (!user) {
    res.status(401).json({ error: "Not authenticated" });
    return;
  }

  res.status(200).json({ user });
}

You'd have to get your token from your cookie, and then pass it to the query the same way I told you in the other thread
