How can I look up used email address?

Hi.

I’d like to know if the email address is used already. Is there such a API?
When the user accesses signup page, if the email address is used already, I want to redirect to login page.

I found get_users_by_email in management API. I can get user information by using this API.

And I found GET /userinfo API in authentication API. But this API needs access_token.
https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication#user-profile

I’d like to know API returns only whether the email exists or not. And I want the API not to need access_token.

Thanks.

@kwst,

This type of endpoint does not exist. Generally, checking user data without any form of auth (no token) can result in user enumeration and isn’t allowed.
