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);
     }
   };
