Igrom@foo: ~$ !! | base64 -d | jq
{
  "typ": "JWT",
  "alg": "RS256",
  "kid: "yMGg0MIeOOMeGgGwIwIiMIMMgMwypGgIgIii4gMIMEgIMCMGgEwMM"
}

Provisioning Auth0 access tokens for making manual API calls is a commonly done task. As most tokens soon expire, it is often necessary to provision multiple access tokens in a single session. This tool aims to reduce the tediousness of doing this.

It is possible to pass all required request parameters: username, password, auth0 domain URL and more through command-line options, but it is more convenient to save them in a config file that auth0-password-grant reads on execution.

Features:

• store settings for quick token procurement
• prepend token with "Bearer " for valid Authorization tokens
• copy token to clipboard (if xclip (Linux/X11) or pbcopy (Mac) is installed)
• comprehensive man pages

How to install

Mac OS users (Homebrew):

brew install jq

brew tap Igrom/tap
brew install auth0-password-grant

Linux:

git clone https://github.com/Igrom/auth0-password-grant.git
cd auth0-password-grant
./linux-install.sh

Recommendations

For common workflows it is recommended to create the following shorthand:

alias tok='auth0-password-grant -BX'

to quickly construct a valid Authorization header and put it in the clipboard.
