How to get user info after validating JWT token?

Help

I have followed this tutorial (Auth0 Spring Boot API SDK Quickstarts: Authorization) and successfully created working authentication flow for my Java API backend.

    @GetMapping("/posts")
    fun String(): getPosts: List<String> {
        val userId: String = "google-oauth2|108335805846181510876"
        val posts: List<String> = postDao.listPosts(userId);
        return posts;
    }

How should I get the userId from the token?
