auth0-curl

A simple curl wrapper that calls Auth0 (more specifically /oauth/ro), retrieves a JWT and sticks the correct Authorization header for you. Any argument is passed to curl, see the source.

Setup

• Edit the script and replace the 4 environment variables (AUTH0_DOMAIN, AUTH0_CLIENTID, AUTH0_USERNAME, AUTH0_PASSWORD) with your Auth0 setup
• Install jq, a very nice JSON parser

Usage

Exactly like you would use curl, no restrictions.

curl-auth0 -vvv -X GET 'https://localhost:8080/my-api'

How it works

Behind the scenes, this will do:

1. a call to Auth0 /oauth/ro
2. get the result (a JWT) that looks like this: {"id_token":"xxx.yyy.zzz","access_token":"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa","token_type":"bearer"}
3. extract the id_token from the JWT
4. call curl with the args you supplied to curl-auth0, and add the Authorization: Bearer ${id_token} header
