I would like to know what the recommended workflow is for developing an API for use with NextJS (following your Code+Tutorials). My main question follows: because you cannot update the “Identifier” after you create an API, and while the API is in development I don’t yet know what URL it will live…

Hi @adam.ellsworth , Welcome back! The identifier is simply a name for your API. You can call it whatever you’d like. At no point does Auth0 call the identifier, and it doesn’t need to be a working URL.

Thanks for getting back to me. Could you point me to the docs that might go over this in more detail? Only thing I could find were the JSDOC-generated stuff and another forum discussion:

Thank you,
Adam
