Auth0 Server-to-Server Access Token (Client Credentials flow)

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to obtain an Auth0 access token using client credentials (client_id and client_secret).

This is just a matter of duplicating this CURL command:

curl --request POST
  --url 'https://chilkat.auth0.com/oauth/token' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_id": "xxxx","client_secret": "xxxx","audience": "https://api.example.com/geocoding/v1/"}'

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
