Why does creating an API implicitly create an appication?

Help

I have a front-end SPA and a separate back-end API.

My Auth0 setup is I have a SPA application and an API created.

What I don’t get is why creating an API automatically creates a second application, this time of type machine-to-machine?

So far as I can tell, I don’t need this; the Auth0 client key I’m using in my app, to resolve the JWT and make calls to the Auth0 API, relates to the SPA application, not the machine-to-machine application that was auto-created.

So what’s it for, and is it safe to remove it?

I guess it’s the one you can use for testing :slight_smile: But really you don’t have to use it. I think I even deleted it to keep my env clean
