Installation
pip install auth0-python
Requirements:
- Python ≥3.10 (Python 3.9 support has been dropped)
Reference
A full reference for this library is available here.
Authentication API
The Authentication API is used for authentication flows such as obtaining tokens via client credentials, authorization codes, or resource owner password grants:
from auth0.authentication import GetToken
token_client = GetToken(
domain="your-tenant.auth0.com",
client_id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
)
# Get an access token using client credentials
token_response = token_client.client_credentials(
audience="https://your-tenant.auth0.com/api/v2/"
)
access_token = token_response["access_token"]
Management API
Recommended: Using ManagementClient
The ManagementClient is the recommended way to interact with the Auth0 Management API. It provides a simpler interface using just your Auth0 domain, and supports automatic token management with client credentials:
from auth0.management import ManagementClient
# With an existing token
client = ManagementClient(
domain="your-tenant.auth0.com",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)
# Or with client credentials (automatic token acquisition and refresh)
client = ManagementClient(
domain="your-tenant.auth0.com",
client_id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
)
For async usage:
import asyncio
from auth0.management import AsyncManagementClient
client = AsyncManagementClient(
domain="your-tenant.auth0.com",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)
async def main() -> None:
users = await client.users.list()
print(users)
asyncio.run(main())
Using a Token from the Authentication API
You can obtain a token using the Authentication API and use it with the Management API client:
from auth0.authentication import GetToken
from auth0.management import Auth0
domain = "your-tenant.auth0.com"
# Get a token using the Authentication API
token_client = GetToken(
domain=domain,
client_id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
)
token_response = token_client.client_credentials(
audience=f"https://{domain}/api/v2/"
)
access_token = token_response["access_token"]
# Use the token with the Management API client
client = Auth0(
base_url=f"https://{domain}/api/v2",
token=access_token,
)
Using the Base Client
Alternatively, you can use the Auth0 client directly with a full base URL:
from auth0.management import ActionTrigger, Auth0
client = Auth0(
base_url="https://YOUR_TENANT.auth0.com/api/v2",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)
client.actions.create(
name="name",
supported_triggers=[
ActionTrigger(
id="id",
)
],
)
Async Client
The SDK also exports an async client so that you can make non-blocking calls to our API. Note that if you are constructing an Async httpx client class to pass into this client, use httpx.AsyncClient() instead of httpx.Client() (e.g. for the httpx_client parameter of this client).
import asyncio
from auth0.management import ActionTrigger, AsyncAuth0
client = AsyncAuth0(
base_url="https://YOUR_TENANT.auth0.com/api/v2",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)
async def main() -> None:
await client.actions.create(
name="name",
supported_triggers=[
ActionTrigger(
id="id",
)
],
)
asyncio.run(main())
Exception Handling
When the API returns a non-success status code (4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of the following error will be thrown.
from auth0.management.core.api_error import ApiError
try:
client.actions.create(...)
except ApiError as e:
print(e.status_code)
print(e.body)
Pagination
Paginated requests will return a SyncPager or AsyncPager, which can be used as generators for the underlying object.
from auth0.management import Auth0
client = Auth0(
base_url="https://YOUR_TENANT.auth0.com/api/v2",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)
response = client.actions.list(
trigger_id="post-login",
action_name="actionName",
deployed=True,
page=1,
per_page=1,
installed=True,
)
for item in response:
print(item)
# alternatively, you can paginate page-by-page
for page in response.iter_pages():
print(page)
# You can also iterate through pages and access the typed response per page
pager = client.actions.list(...)
for page in pager.iter_pages():
print(page.response) # access the typed response for each page
for item in page:
print(item)
Advanced
Access Raw Response Data
The SDK provides access to raw response data, including headers, through the .with_raw_response property.
The .with_raw_response property returns a "raw" client that can be used to access the .headers and .data attributes.
from auth0.management import Auth0
client = Auth0(
base_url="https://YOUR_TENANT.auth0.com/api/v2",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
)
response = client.actions.with_raw_response.create(...)
print(response.headers) # access the response headers
print(response.data) # access the underlying object
pager = client.actions.list(...)
print(pager.response) # access the typed response for the first page
for item in pager:
print(item) # access the underlying object(s)
for page in pager.iter_pages():
print(page.response) # access the typed response for each page
for item in page:
print(item) # access the underlying object(s)
Retries
The SDK is instrumented with automatic retries with exponential backoff. A request will be retried as long as the request is deemed retryable and the number of retry attempts has not grown larger than the configured retry limit (default: 2).
A request is deemed retryable when any of the following HTTP status codes is returned:
Use the max_retries request option to configure this behavior.
client.actions.create(..., request_options={
"max_retries": 1
})
Timeouts
The SDK defaults to a 60 second timeout. You can configure this with a timeout option at the client or request level.
from auth0.management import Auth0
client = Auth0(
base_url="https://YOUR_TENANT.auth0.com/api/v2",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
timeout=20.0,
)
# Override timeout for a specific method
client.actions.create(..., request_options={
"timeout_in_seconds": 1
})
Custom Client
You can override the httpx client to customize it for your use-case. Some common use-cases include support for proxies
and transports.
import httpx
from auth0.management import Auth0
client = Auth0(
base_url="https://YOUR_TENANT.auth0.com/api/v2",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
httpx_client=httpx.Client(
proxy="http://my.test.proxy.example.com",
transport=httpx.HTTPTransport(local_address="0.0.0.0"),
),
)
Custom Domains
If your Auth0 tenant uses multiple custom domains, you can specify which custom domain to use via the Auth0-Custom-Domain header. The SDK enforces a whitelist, the header is only sent on supported endpoints.
Global (all whitelisted requests):
from auth0.management import ManagementClient
client = ManagementClient(
domain="your-tenant.auth0.com",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
custom_domain="login.mycompany.com",
)
Per-request override:
from auth0.management import ManagementClient, CustomDomainHeader
client = ManagementClient(
domain="your-tenant.auth0.com",
token="YOUR_TOKEN",
custom_domain="login.mycompany.com",
)
# Override the global custom domain for this specific request
client.users.create(
connection="Username-Password-Authentication",
email="user@example.com",
password="SecurePass123!",
request_options=CustomDomainHeader("other.mycompany.com"),
)
If both a global custom_domain and a per-request CustomDomainHeader are provided, the per-request value takes precedence.
