Creating API in Auth0 portal

An Auth0 API will represent the Web API (green box) and allow use of Auth0 for accepting and responding to protected resource requests made by applications.

Step 1: Create Auth0 API

To create Auth0 API, log in to Auth0 Dashboard at the URL https://manage.auth0.com/. Then go to the section APIs at the right menu. Click the button + Create API.

After a new application is created, switch to the tab Scopes.

Step 2: Add Scopes

In the tab Scopes, add the following scopes for Web API, which will behave as access rights for different endpoints.

Name	Description
read:repositories	View existent repositories.
create:repositories	Create new repositories.
update:repositories	Edit existent repositories.
delete:repositories	Delete existent repositories.

After scopes are created, switch to the tab Settings.

Step 3: Copy Identifier

In the tab Settings, copy and save value of the field Identifier. You will need it for the next step.

• Identifier: https://onegit-webapi.azurewebsites.net/api/
