async def protected_handler(request):
    return web.json_response({'user': request['payload']})

app = web.Application(
    middlewares=[
        JWTMiddleware(sharable_secret),
    ]
)

app.router.add_get('/protected', protected_handler)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    web.run_app(app)

client.py

import asyncio

import aiohttp
import async_timeout

async def fetch(session, url, headers=None):
    async with async_timeout.timeout(10):
        async with session.get(url, headers=headers) as response:
            return await response.json()

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        response = await fetch(
            session,
            'http://localhost:8080/protected',
            headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6InRlc3QifQ.pyNsXX_vNsUvdt6xu13F1Gs1zGELT4Va8a38eG5svBA'})

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
