Node.js client library for the Auth0 platform.

Installation

Documentation

For more information on how to use this library you must build the docs. You can do so by running: npm run docs-build.

The docs-build script will generate all the documentation in HTML format under the docs folder. Open docs/index.html in any web browser to see the documentation.

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 an API v2 token (you can generate one here) and a domain.

var ManagementClient = require('auth0').ManagementClient;

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

Note: When using at browser you should use telemetry: false.

Authentication API Client

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

The AuthenticationClient constructor takes an optional client ID, if specified it will be used as default value for all endpoints that accept a client ID.

var AuthenticationClient = require('auth0').AuthenticationClient;

var auth0 = new AuthenticationClient({
  domain: '{YOUR_ACCOUNT}.auth0.com',
  clientId: '{OPTIONAL_CLIENT_ID}'
});

Promises and callbacks

Be aware that all methods can be used with promises or callbacks. However, when a callback is provided no promise will be returned.

// Using callbacks.
auth0.getUsers(function (err, users) {
  if (err) {
    // handle error.
  }
  console.log(users);
});


// Using promises.
auth0
  .getUsers()
  .then(function (users) {
    console.log(users);
  })
  .catch(function (err) {
    // Handle error.
  });
