Call the Kinde API - NodeJS example

If you don’t use Postman or other similar tools to test your connections, here’s an example of how to call the Kinde Management API in NodeJS.

  1. Add a machine to machine application for API access, and copy the App keys - Domain, Client ID and Client secret from the application.

  2. Call the Kinde token endpoint using the app key details you copied at step 1. Here’s a code sample in NodeJS. This should return an access token.

    const getAccessToken = async () => {
    try {
    const searchParams = {
    grant_type: "client_credentials",
    client_id: "<your_client_id>",
    client_secret: "<your_secret_id>",
    audience: "https://<your_subdomain>.kinde.com/api"
    };
    const res = await fetch("https://<your_subdomain>.kinde.com/oauth2/token", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    },
    body: new URLSearchParams(searchParams)
    });
    const token = await res.json();
    console.log({token});
    } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
    }
    };
  3. Use the access token to call the Kinde management API. Here’s an example of calling the users endpoint in NodeJS:

    const getUsers = async () => {
    const accessToken = await getAccessToken();
    const headers = {
    Accept: "application/json",
    Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`
    };
    try {
    const res = await fetch("https://<your_subdomain>.kinde.com/api/v1/users", {
    method: "GET",
    headers: headers
    });
    const data = await res.json();
    console.log({data});
    } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
    }
    };
