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/"}'

Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

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

# 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.
set json [new_CkJsonObject]

CkJsonObject_UpdateString $json "client_secret" "AUTH0-CLIENT-SECRET"
CkJsonObject_UpdateString $json "audience" "https://api.example.com/geocoding/v1/"

# IMPORTANT: You would use your own url.  You would not use "chilkat.auth0.com".  
# Instead you would use "your_name.auth0.com"
