Auth0 CLI (Experimental)

auth0 is the command line to supercharge your development workflow.

Note: This CLI is an experimental release, and is built on a best-efforts basis by some Auth0 developers in their available innovation time. It is open-source licensed and free to use, and is not covered by any Auth0 Terms of Service or Agreements. If you have issues with this CLI you can engage with the project's developer community through the repository GitHub Issues list, or contribute fixes and enhancements of your own via a Pull Request.

Build, test, troubleshoot and manage your integration with Auth0 directly from your terminal.

Features

🧪 Test the login flow at any time

You can easily test out the Universal Login box of your Auth0 application by running auth0 test login. This initiates a login flow in your browser. Once you complete the process, the Auth0 CLI will display your profile information and credentials.

⚡️ Get up and running quickly

You can also download a QuickStart sample application that’s already configured for your Auth0 application with auth0 quickstarts download. Just install the dependencies, and the sample application will be ready to run. Use it as an example integration to help set up Auth0 in your own application.

🔍 Find issues faster

If you encounter difficulties setting up your integration, use the Auth0 CLI to tail your tenant’s logs for a smoother troubleshooting experience. auth0 logs tail will let you inspect the authentication events as they happen. You can easily filter the events from a single Auth0 application with --client-id <client-id> and use --debug to get the raw error details.

🔁 Simplify repetitive tasks

With the Auth0 CLI, you can:

• Manage your Auth0 applications, rules, and APIs right from the terminal.
• Create, update, and delete resources interactively.
• List all your resources or inspect them individually.

Login

auth0 login

Creating your application

If you haven't created an application yet, you may do so by running the following command:

auth0 apps create

A screen similar to the following will be presented after successful app creation:

$ auth0 apps create
 Name: My Awesome App
 Description: Test app
 Type: Regular Web Application
 Callback URLs: http://localhost:3000
 Allowed Logout URLs: http://localhost:3000

=== travel0.auth0.com application created

 ▸    Quickstarts: https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/webapp
 ▸    Hint: Test this app's login box with 'auth0 test login wmVzrZkGhKgglMRMvpauORCulBkQ5qeI'
 ▸    Hint: You might wanna try 'auth0 quickstarts download wmVzrZkGhKgglMRMvpauORCulBkQ5qeI'

As you might observe, the next thing to do would likely be to try logging in using the client ID.

Testing the login flow

Whether or not you've created the application using the CLI or the management dashboard, you'll be able to test logging in using a specific application.

If you have the client ID, you may pass it as an argument, otherwise a prompt will be presented:

auth0 test login

Tailing your logs

Once you have a few logins in place, you might wanna tail your logs. This is done by running the following command:

auth0 logs tail

After running that, one might see the following output:

Success Login   9 minutes ago  Username-Password-Authentic...    my awesome app

If there are errors encountered, such as the following example, you may run it with the --debug flag as follows:

auth0 logs tail --debug

The full raw data will be displayed below every error:
