I am trying to get access token with the help of getAccessToken method as mentioned here in the @auth0/nextjs-auth0 documents. It shows as if there is no need to pass the req and res parameters when using in a “page” or “React Server Component” but without req and res parameters it does not work. Could you clarify this matter? Is it really possible to use getAccessToken method without passing req and res parameters as in the documents? If so, how?

Hey there @mbas welcome to the community!
I’m not super familiar with the nextjs-auth0 SDK but it looks you should be able to call getAccessToken with no args:

### Describe the problem you'd like to have solved
We're looking to migrate to the new app directory. Currently, we use `getServerSideProps` and its [context](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/api-reference/functions/get-server-side-props) parameter to access the `req` and `res` needed to call this library's `getAccessToken` function in order to make authenticated API calls to another Auth0-protected application. Using the new server components, we'll need to drop `getServerSideProps` for `fetch`es directly in the components themselves. We'll still need to use `getAccessToken` though to authenticate the requests. What I can't understand is how we can use `getAccessToken` when there's no longer access to the `context.req` (`NextApiRequest`) and `context.res` (`NextApiResponse`) objects.
It seems we might need a new method in this library which accepts the required headers using https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/headers#headers?
### Describe the ideal solution
Be able to call `getAccessToken` from a server component.
### Alternatives and current workarounds
_No response_
### Additional context
Thanks a lot!
