  title: Clerk Backend Allowlist & Blocklist OAuth Applications API
  description: 'The Clerk Backend API manages Clerk''s authentication and user management resources server-side: users, organizations and memberships, sessions, clients, sign-ups, JWT templates, JWKS, email/SMS verification and templates, allowlist/blocklist identifiers, invitations, SAML/enterprise connections, OAuth applications, and Svix-powered webhooks. The base URL is https://api.clerk.com/v1 and every request (except GET /jwks and the public interstitial) is authenticated with your instance Secret Key passed as `Authorization: Bearer sk_...`. This description is grounded in Clerk''s published OpenAPI spec (github.com/clerk/openapi-specs, bapi) but is a curated subset covering the primary resource groups; it does not enumerate every parameter or schema property. Verify the current version-dated spec on GitHub for the authoritative contract.'

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Clerk OAuth Applications API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
