AWS Cognito API Authentication flow SDKs

I am trying to figure out what is the authentication flow with AWS Cognito (from a golang client for instance, or python with Boto). Basically registered user gets a token from Cognito and uses it to log in to the app server.

Simple Auth Flow with Cognito

What I figured out so far:

  1. User sign in with SignUp()
  2. User Code Verification with ConfirmSignUp()
  3. How does the user get its token?
  4. How does the user provide it's token to a 3rd party server?
  5. How does the 3rd party server verify the user token ?

The official documentation is talking about Authentication Challenge but I do not see it in the Golang or Python API libraries. How can I validate steps 3, 4 and 5 please ?

Thank you very much in advance

I found what I needed here:docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/… page 70.

There is not an actual implementation example but this is way good enough to understand the process.
