description: "Welcome to the **Authlete API documentation**. Authlete is an **API-first service** where every aspect of the \nplatform is configurable via API. This documentation will help you authenticate and integrate with Authlete to \nbuild powerful OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect servers.\n\nAt a high level, the Authlete API is grouped into two categories:\n\n- **Management APIs**: Enable you to manage services and clients.\n- **Runtime APIs**: Allow you to build your own Authorization Servers or Verifiable Credential (VC) issuers.\n\n## \U0001F310 API Servers\n\nAuthlete is a global service with clusters available in multiple regions across the world:\n\n- \U0001F1FA\U0001F1F8 **US**: `https://us.authlete.com`\n- \U0001F1EF\U0001F1F5 **Japan**: `https://jp.authlete.com`\n- \U0001F1EA\U0001F1FA **Europe**: `https://eu.authlete.com`\n- \U0001F1E7\U0001F1F7 **Brazil**: `https://br.authlete.com`\n\nOur customers can host their data in the region that best meets their requirements.\n\n## \U0001F511 Authentication\n\nAll API endpoints are secured using **Bearer token authentication**. You must include an access token in every request:\n\n```\nAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN\n```\n\n### Getting Your Access Token\n\nAuthlete supports two types of access tokens:\n\n**Service Access Token** - Scoped to a single service (authorization server instance)\n\n1. Log in to [Authlete Console](https://console.authlete.com)\n2. Navigate to your service → **Settings** → **Access Tokens**\n3. Click **Create Token** and select permissions (e.g., `service.read`, `client.write`)\n4. Copy the generated token\n\n**Organization Token** - Scoped to your entire organization\n\n1. Log in to [Authlete Console](https://console.authlete.com)\n2. Navigate to **Organization Settings** → **Access Tokens**\n3. Click **Create Token** and select org-level permissions\n4. Copy the generated token\n\n> ⚠️ **Important Note**: Tokens inherit the permissions of the account that creates them. Service tokens can only \n> access their specific service, while organization tokens can access all services within your org.\n\n### Token Security Best Practices\n\n- **Never commit tokens to version control** - Store in environment variables or secure secret managers\n- **Rotate regularly** - Generate new tokens periodically and revoke old ones\n- **Scope appropriately** - Request only the permissions your application needs\n- **Revoke unused tokens** - Delete tokens you're no longer using from the console\n\n### Quick Test\n\nVerify your token works with a simple API call:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X GET https://us.authlete.com/api/service/get/list \\\n -H \"Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN\"\n```\n\n## \U0001F393 Tutorials\n\nIf you're new to Authlete or want to see sample implementations, these resources will help you get started:\n\n- [Getting Started with Authlete](https://www.authlete.com/developers/getting_started/)\n- [From Sign-Up to the First API Request](https://www.authlete.com/developers/tutorial/signup/)\n\n## \U0001F6E0 Contact Us\n\nIf you have any questions or need assistance, our team is here to help:\n\n- [Contact Page](https://www.authlete.com/contact/)\n"

summary: Get JWK Set
description: 'This API gathers JWK Set information for a service so that its client applications can verify
signatures by the service and encrypt their requests to the service.
This API is supposed to be called from within the implementation of the jwk set endpoint of the
service where the service that supports OpenID Connect must expose its JWK Set information so that
client applications can verify signatures by the service and encrypt their requests to the service.
The URI of the endpoint can be found as the value of `jwks_uri` in [OpenID Provider Metadata](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0.html#ProviderMetadata)
if the service supports [OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0.html).

Both token types are issued by the Authlete console or provisioning APIs.
