How to access user / session data in nextjs app directory api routes

[NuoWenLei]

Describe the bug
I can't seem to get withAuth() to work in API routes. I want to be able to access the user object and organizationId etc in protected API routes through withAuth() but when I add the api routes to the middleware configs, I seem to get 404 html errors when calling the api endpoints.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Middleware.ts set up authkitMiddleware() as usual
2. Add /api/something to the middleware config
3. In /api/something/route.ts, create a GET handler and call withAuth()
4. See error

Expected behavior
When I add /api/something as a protected route, I should be able to call withAuth() or some other function in the route.ts to access the user, organizationId, etc in the same way as in a protected page.

Versions:

• OS [MacOS]
• Browser [Chrome]
• authkit-nextjs version [2.13.0]
• Next.js version [16.0.1]

My current work around is taking the getSessionFromCookie definition and using it in the API route.
