Introspect Token

Introspect Token

POST
https://test.stytch.com/v1/public/${projectId}/oauth2/introspect

Examine and introspect a token for the given Connected Apps client. All standard OIDC claims, as well as custom claims, will be returned.

The active status can be used to determine if the token is active.

This endpoint supports both access tokens and refresh tokens.

Important: Unlike other Stytch API endpoints, this endpoint is not authenticated with a project_id and project_secret pair. Instead, it is authenticated via the client_id and client_secret of an active Connected App Client within the current project.

This endpoint is an RFC-7662 compliant token introspection endpoint.

  • This endpoint supports passing the client_id and client_secret within the request body as well as within a HTTP-Basic Auth header.
  • This endpoint supports the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type.
