Organization management API

Today we launched our API for organization management and began rolling it out to our early access customers.

Want to see how it works? Check out our demo repository on Github.

These API endpoints are production ready - please reach out to support if you would like early access.

Please note that we do not provide UIs for this functionality yet, but hooks and javascript helpers are available. The demo repository is unstyled but filled with essential organization management features:

Custom Scopes for OAuth / Social Login

Clerk now supports custom scopes for OAuth / Social Login. Simply navigate to the "Social Login" page in your dashboard and select the Gear icon for any provider.

By default, Clerk requests the scopes necessary to retrieve any basic profile information for your user. Now, you can add any scope your application needs. For example, the "repo" scope from Github

To retrieve the access token for the third party API, you can use Clerk's backend API.

Thanks to the contributors: Agis Anastasopoulos, Mark Pitsilos

application/json support

Clerk's Backend API now supports request bodies encoded with application/json, in addition to form-encoding. This is in response to developer requests and a growing ecosystem of json tooling.

This feature is automatically enabled for all applications.

Thanks to the contributors: Haris Chaniotakis

Social Login with Microsoft & Notion

Microsoft and Notion have been added to our ever-growing list of Social Login providers. If you need support for one that isn't listed, please reach out to support.

Next up is Apple!

Testimonial cloud

Since our launch, we've been fortunate to receive some great testimonials from builders all throughout the Javascript community. Today, we launched an update to begin featuring these on our homepage.
