Access Keys with Management SDKs

If you wish to learn more about Access Keys in general, visit our section on Access Key Management.

You can use Descope Management SDK for common access key management operations like create access key, update custom claims, delete access key, etc.

Install SDK

The Management SDK requires a management key, which can be generated here.

Terminal
npm i --save @descope/node-sdk

Import and initialize Management SDK

import DescopeClient from '@descope/node-sdk';
 
const managementKey = "xxxx"
 
try{
    //  baseUrl="<URL>" // When initializing the Descope clientyou can also configure the baseUrl ex: https://auth.company.com  - this is useful when you utilize CNAME within your Descope project.
    const descopeClient = DescopeClient({ projectId: '__ProjectID__', managementKey: managementKey });
} catch (error) {
    // handle the error
    console.log("failed to initialize: " + error)
}
 
// Note that you can handle async operation failures and capture specific errors to customize errors.
//     An example can be found here: https://github.com/descope/node-sdk?tab=readme-ov-file#error-handling
