## Example

> Using `clerkClient` varies based on the SDK you're using. Refer to the [overview](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md) for usage details, including guidance on [how to access the `userId` and other properties](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend/overview.md#example-get-the-user-id-and-other-properties).

```tsx
const response = await clerkClient.oauthApplications.create({
  name: 'oauthapp_123',
  redirect_uris: [''],
  scopes: 'profile email public_metadata',
  public: null,
})
```

## Backend API (BAPI) endpoint

This method in the SDK is a wrapper around the BAPI endpoint `POST/oauth_applications`. See the [BAPI reference](https://clerk.com/docs/reference/backend-api/tag/oauth-applications/POST/oauth_applications){{ target: '_blank' }} for more information.
