Tokens API

Mint a token

Mint a signed JWT from an arbitrary claims payload. The token is signed with the application’s access-token signing keys, so it verifies against the application’s published JWKS exactly like a real access token.

This endpoint is intended for local development and testing. It is only available for applications in dev mode; it is rejected for applications in prod mode.

The minted token’s lifetime is capped at 24 hours: a supplied exp claim may not be more than 24 hours in the future, and a missing exp defaults to 24 hours from now. Missing iat and jti claims are populated automatically.
