}Provisioning Auth0 access tokens for making manual API calls is a commonly done task. As most tokens soon expire, it is often necessary to provision multiple access tokens in a single session. This tool aims to reduce the tediousness of doing this.
It is possible to pass all required request parameters: username, password, auth0 domain URL and more through command-line options, but it is more convenient to save them in a config file that auth0-password-grant reads on execution.
Features:
- store settings for quick token procurement
- prepend token with "Bearer " for valid Authorization tokens
- copy token to clipboard (if xclip (Linux/X11) or pbcopy (Mac) is installed)
- comprehensive man pages
How to install
apt install jq
yarn global install auth0-password-grantRecommendations
For common workflows it is recommended to create the following shorthand:
alias tok='auth0-password-grant -BX'
to quickly construct a valid Authorization header and put it in the clipboard.
