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/"}'

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

    //  We want to duplicate 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": "my_client_id","client_secret": "my_client_secret","audience": "https://api.example.com/geocoding/v1/"}'

    //  Build the JSON body of the request.

    json.UpdateString("client_id","AUTH0-CLIENT-ID");

    //  Instead you would use "your_name.auth0.com"

    //  A 200 response status code indicates success.  In the success case, the response body
    //  contains the JSON access token, such as: 
    //  {
    //    "access_token": "eyJz93a...k4laUWw",

        //  		  "error_description": "Client is not authorized to access \"https://api.example.com/geocoding/v1/\". You might probably want to create a \"client-grant\" associated to this API. See: https://auth0.com/docs/api/v2#!/Client_Grants/post_client_grants"
        //  		}
        return;
        }

    System.out.println("Success!");
    System.out.println(jsonResp.emit());

    //  A successful JSON response body looks like this:

    //    "token_type":"Bearer",
    //    "expires_in":86400
