Getting Started

Requirements

This library supports the following tooling versions:

• Node.js: >=18

Installation

Using npm in your project directory run the following command:

npm install auth0

Configure the SDK

Authentication API Client

This client can be used to access Auth0's Authentication API.

import { AuthenticationClient } from 'auth0';

const auth0 = new AuthenticationClient({
  domain: '{YOUR_TENANT_AND REGION}.auth0.com',
  clientId: '{OPTIONAL_CLIENT_ID}',
  clientSecret: '{OPTIONAL_CLIENT_SECRET}',
});

See more examples.

Management API Client

The Auth0 Management API is meant to be used by back-end servers or trusted parties performing administrative tasks. Generally speaking, anything that can be done through the Auth0 dashboard (and more) can also be done through this API.

Initialize your client class with a client ID, client secret and a domain.

import { ManagementClient } from 'auth0';

var management = new ManagementClient({
  domain: '{YOUR_TENANT_AND REGION}.auth0.com',
  clientId: '{YOUR_CLIENT_ID}',
  clientSecret: '{YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET}',
});

Or, initialize your client class with an API v2 token and a domain.

import { ManagementClient } from 'auth0';

var management = new ManagementClient({
  domain: '{YOUR_TENANT_AND REGION}.auth0.com',
  token: '{YOUR_API_V2_TOKEN}',
});
