How do I pass session from Js SDK to custom Rest Python script?

Hi all,

I have a Splunk App with React and JS SDK, that calls a custom REST endpoint, that calls a Python script, which uses Splunk Python SDK. Is there a way to pass the session from the logged in User using the Dashboard from JS/REST to the Python script, so that I do not need to write the authentication details for the Python SDK connection in a file?

Best regards!
