Are id tokens not available?

Help

I have been trying to get a user email on the token after a user login. (https://dev-p.eu.auth0.com/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=someId&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/callback&scope=openid%20profile%20email&audience=some-api).
So the conclusions I have come to is that the token returned from this must be an access token, and id tokens are not available?
And also the reason i can’t get the user email is because access tokens don’t provide anything other than authorization claims?

Hey there @gavinross88 welcome to the community!

The response_type=token will indeed only return an access token - In order to get request an ID token as well you will need to include id_token as well, response_type= token id_token. Please see:

Hope this helps!
