I have created a M2M app which gets me a Management API token to create a New M2M app. But these M2M app needs to be associated with Management API (with necessary scopes). It also needs to associate with our own API .

**Using below command I get the access token from Management API.**  
–url ‘[https://auth.mydomain.com/oauth/token](https://auth.mydomain.com/oauth/token)’   
–header ‘content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded’   
–data grant\_type=client\_credentials   
–data ‘client\_id=MQTYxxxxxxeMdcbl8PpVRoBpnwAj’   
–data client\_secret=Nxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d ‘{“name”:“VENUS-AQS”,“description”:“Some description”,“app\_type”:“non\_interactive”,“allowed\_clients”: ,“grant\_types”:[“client\_credentials”, “refresh\_token”], “is\_first\_party”:true,“oidc\_conformant”:true,“jwt\_configuration”:{“lifetime\_in\_seconds”:36000,“scopes”:{},“alg”:“RS256”},“sso”:false,“cross\_origin\_auth”:false,“sso\_disabled”:false,“custom\_login\_page\_on”:false,“client\_metadata”:{“client\_name”: “MY LLC”, “account\_id”: “S0000001”},“refresh\_token”:{“rotation\_type”:“rotating”,“expiration\_type”:“expiring”,“leeway”:0,“token\_lifetime”:86400,“infinite\_token\_lifetime”:false,“idle\_token\_lifetime”:46500,“infinite\_idle\_token\_lifetime”:false}}’ --url [https://mydomain.us.auth0.com/api/v2/clients](https://mydomain.us.auth0.com/api/v2/clients) --header ‘authorization: Bearer eyJh…’

I would like to know how to get M2M app associated with Management API and API 's what we have created.

Hi @santhoshk

You need to create a client grant (also from the management API) when you create the M2M application.
