At some point, your APIs may need to allow limited access to users, servers, or servers on behalf of users. This tutorial demonstrates how to use the OAuth 2.0 authorization features of Auth0 to give your applications (or third-party applications) limited access to your APIs on behalf of users. For more information, check out our documentation.

Create a Resource Server (API)

In the APIs section of the Auth0 Dashboard, click the Create API button. Provide a Name and Identifier for your API. The identifier you set will later be used as the audience when configuring access_token verification. Be sure to choose the RS256 signing algorithm.
