How to check authenticated status server side with ionic cloud Auth
<p>I'm evaluating whether to use Ionic's cloud <a href="https://docs.ionic.io/services/auth/#emailpassword-authentication" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Auth">Auth</a> service and it seems like it's relatively easy to implement client-side, where you can check <code>this.auth.isAuthenticated</code>.  You can also set the user info from the client side as well.</p>

<p>However, if I want to do check their identity server-side, such as check that a user is authenticated when they call my custom api to post a comment - how can I get some sort of token (preferably a JWT token) that I can use to validate their identity server-side?  Assuming we are using email/password authentication.</p>

<p>Also - using their send notification on a user's birthday example, how can I query the user data in ionic cloud's database to say find all users who have a birthday today.  Can I export out the user data in any way if I want to migrate away in the future?</p>
