# Auth0 Express API Samples

[![CircleCI](https://img.shields.io/circleci/project/github/auth0-samples/auth0-express-api-samples.svg?style=flat-square)](https://circleci.com/gh/auth0-samples/auth0-express-api-samples/tree/master)

These samples demonstrate how to create an API with Express which only permits access to resources if a valid **access token** is included. This verification is done by validating the signature and claims in a JSON Web Token (JWT) signed by Auth0.

These samples do not demonstrate how to sign a JWT but rather assume that a user has already been authenticated by Auth0 and holds an access token for API access. For information on how to use Auth0 to authenticate users, see [the docs](https://auth0.com/docs).

## What is Auth0?

Auth0 helps you to:

* Add authentication with [multiple authentication sources](https://docs.auth0.com/identityproviders), either social like **Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce, amont others**, or enterprise identity systems like **Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS or any SAML Identity Provider**.

* Add authentication through more traditional **[username/password databases](https://docs.auth0.com/mysql-connection-tutorial)**.

* Add support for **[linking different user accounts](https://docs.auth0.com/link-accounts)** with the same user.

* Support for generating signed [Json Web Tokens](https://docs.auth0.com/jwt) to call your APIs and **flow the user identity** securely.

* Analytics of how, when and where users are logging in.

* Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile, through [JavaScript rules](https://docs.auth0.com/rules).
