Hello, I’m new to auth0.

I have a fetch() search form that users search for something and the API returns some fields. What I’m trying to do is, when a user is logged out, I want the API to return only some of the fields, when logged in, all of them.

is this possible with auth0?

Hello! Welcome to our community.

This would be limited by your application because we only provide the service to perform the authentication.

Thanks.

Hey there.

I’m calling an API with fetch like this:

  apiCall() {
    fetch("http://example.com/json", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        Accept: "application/json",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
           question: this.state.searchValue,
      }),
    })
      .then((response) => {
        return response.json();
      })
      .then((jsonData) => {
        this.setState({ posts: jsonData.results.posts });
      });
  }

And I’m getting a result of posts with fields like content, title, author etc in a JSON format.

I need free users to only get some of these fields back. Now, if the user is logged in (so we have a user id/token) the response should contain all fields

In the APIs section of the Auth0 dashboard, click Create API . Provide a name and an identifier for your API. You will use the identifier later when you’re configuring your Javascript Auth0 application instance mcdvoice
