Problems with getting userinfo from management API

[mathiasm]

Hi,

I’m having some problems synchronizing my auth0 userinfo with my local database. I have implemented this code;

userRouter.get("/sync", validateAccessToken, (req, res) => {
  var request = require("request");
  var usertoken;
  var options = { method: 'POST',
    url: 'https://MYDOMAN.eu.auth0.com/oauth/token',
    headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' },
    body: '{"client_id":"myclienttoken","client_secret":"myclientsecret","audience":"https://MYDOMAIN.eu.auth0.com/api/v2/","grant_type":"client_credentials"}' };
  
  request(options, function (error, response, body) {
    if (error) throw new Error(error);
    usertoken = body;
    console.log(body);
  });
  var auth0options = {
    method: "GET",
    url: "https://MYDOMAIN.eu.auth0.com/api/v2/users",
    params: {id: 'email:"testuser"', search_engine: 'v3'},
    headers: {
      "content-type": "application/json",
      authorization: `Bearer` + usertoken.access_token,
    },
  };

  axios.request(auth0options).then(function (response) {
      console.log("RES DATA: ", response.data);
    })
    .catch(function (error) {
      console.error(error);
    });
  console.log("called");
  res.status(200).json("message");
});

But it dosen’t seem to work. I get the access token from this line:

usertoken = body;

But I don’t get the userinfo when calling the auth0 api with that token. I’m using the audience from the Auth0 Management API ex:

https://MYDOMAIN.eu.auth0.com/api/v2/

And not the audience from my own API, as I have read that’s the correct way:

https://mydomain

Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

Hello @mathiasm welcome to the community!

But I don’t get the userinfo when calling the auth0 api with that token. I’m using the audience from the Auth0 Management API ex:

Are you getting any error or error code that might be helpful in hinting at the issue? Does you M2M client in Auth0 have the right permissions(read:users and read:user_idp_tokens)? I’m not positive you can query by id - You may want to try email or user_id.

Keep us posted!

Hi tyf.
I found out that the main problem was that I was not waiting for reply about the mgmt token in my code, before calling the v2/users endpoint. That resulted in an error. After I made sure first to call that endpoint only after I received the mgmt key, it worked
Now I just need to figure out why I’m not receiving all user data in my result.

Thank you for the help and great service.
