How do I authenticate using the Auth0 Management API?

To authenticate with the Auth0 Management API, you need to obtain a valid access token. You can do this by using the Client Credentials flow.

What are the required parameters for the Client Credentials flow?

You need to provide the client ID, client secret, audience, and grant type. The audience should be set to your Management API identifier.

Can you show me an example of the request?

Sure! Here's an example of a POST request to the token endpoint:

POST https://YOUR_DOMAIN/oauth/token
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
  "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
  "audience": "https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/v2/",
  "grant_type": "client_credentials"
}

What will the response look like?

The response will include an access token, token type, and expiration time. It looks like this:

{
  "access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 86400
}
