Welcome to the Auth0 Community, @gsinha!

We don’t have an equivalent endpoint to the `/introspect` endpoint from Okta. You would have two options: either use the token and see if it’s valid or inspect it using a library of your choice (you can grab one from [JSON Web Token Libraries - jwt.io](https://jwt.io/libraries) for example)

I recommend you to read [https://auth0.com/docs/security/tokens/access-tokens/validate-access-tokens](https://auth0.com/docs/security/tokens/access-tokens/validate-access-tokens) to learn more about this topic.

If you would like to see a similar endpoint or any other feature supported, I suggest you [send your feedback](https://auth0.com/feedback) explaining your use case and giving as many details as possible so we all can understand your requirements.

I hope this helps.
