/introspect

Request

CORS

This endpoint takes an access token, ID token, refresh token, or device secret and returns a boolean that indicates whether it's active. If the token is active, additional data about the token is also returned. If the token is invalid, expired, or revoked, it's considered inactive.

Be sure that you are using the /introspect endpoint of the same authorization server that you used to create the token.

Note: The /introspect endpoint requires client authentication. The method is configured per client app. See Client authentication methods. For public clients (such as single-page and mobile apps) that don't have a client_secret, include the client_id as a query parameter when calling the /introspect endpoint. Make sure that you aren't passing the Authorization header in the request.

Note: Although ID tokens can be sent to this endpoint, they are usually validated on the service provider or app side of a flow.
