auth0-python

library6.3.0pypypi✓ verified 26d ago

Official Auth0 SDK for Python. Current version is 5.0.0 (Feb 2026). Three separate API generations exist (v3, v4, v5) with incompatible import paths and response types. The 'auth0.v3' namespace was removed in v4. v5 rewrites the Management API responses from dicts to Pydantic models. Enormous tutorial and LLM corpus still references auth0.v3 imports.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

ManagementClient

✓ from auth0.management import ManagementClient

✗ from auth0.v3.management import Auth0

auth0.v3 namespace was removed in v4. 'from auth0.v3.*' raises ModuleNotFoundError on any version >= 4.0. This is the single most common error in LLM-generated auth0 code.

GetToken

✓ from auth0.authentication import GetToken

✗ from auth0.v3.authentication import GetToken

Same v3 namespace removal. Authentication API import path is now auth0.authentication (no version segment).

Management API access using v5 ManagementClient with client credentials.

from auth0.authentication import GetToken from auth0.management import ManagementClient domain = 'your-tenant.auth0.com' # Option A: ManagementClient with client credentials (auto token refresh) client = ManagementClient( domain=domain, client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID', client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET', ) # v5: responses are Pydantic models, not dicts user = client.users.get('auth0|123456') print(user.email) # attribute access, not user['email'] # Option B: manual token then client token_client = GetToken( domain=domain, client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID', client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET', ) tokens = token_client.client_credentials( audience=f'https://{domain}/api/v2/' ) client2 = ManagementClient(domain=domain, token=tokens['access_token'])

Debug

Known issues

breaking'from auth0.v3.management import Auth0' and 'from auth0.v3.authentication import ...' raise ModuleNotFoundError on auth0-python >= 4.0. The auth0.v3 namespace was fully removed in v4.

fix

Replace 'from auth0.v3.management import Auth0' with 'from auth0.management import ManagementClient'. Replace 'from auth0.v3.authentication import ...' with 'from auth0.authentication import ...'.

affects: >= 4.0

breakingv5 Management API responses are Pydantic models, not dicts. user['email'] raises TypeError. user.get('email') returns None silently instead of the value.

fix

Use attribute access: user.email. To convert to dict for legacy code: user.model_dump().

affects: >= 5.0

breakingManagement API tokens expire after 24 hours. The v4 Auth0() class does not refresh tokens automatically. Long-running processes silently start returning 401s.

fix

Use ManagementClient with client_id + client_secret (v5) for automatic token caching and refresh. Or re-acquire token on each run.

affects: < 5.0

breakingv5 pagination changed. The v4 pattern of manual page= loops with include_totals=True returns a SyncPager in v5, not a dict. result['users'] raises TypeError.

fix

Iterate directly: 'for user in client.users.list(): ...' — SyncPager handles pagination automatically.

affects: >= 5.0

gotchaAuth0 domain format must be bare domain only: 'your-tenant.auth0.com'. Do NOT prefix with 'https://'. Passing the full URL causes connection errors.

fix

domain='your-tenant.auth0.com' not domain='https://your-tenant.auth0.com'

affects: all

gotchaclient_credentials audience must exactly match the API identifier in Auth0 dashboard. For the Management API it is 'https://{domain}/api/v2/' — note the trailing slash. Omitting it returns an invalid token.

fix

audience=f'https://{domain}/api/v2/'  # trailing slash required

affects: all

gotchaAsyncManagementClient requires aiohttp which is not auto-installed by auth0-python. ImportError at runtime if missing.

fix

pip install aiohttp alongside auth0-python when using async client.

affects: >= 4.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'auth0.v3'

The 'auth0.v3' namespace was removed in version 4.0 of the auth0-python library.

fix

Update import statements to use the new structure without 'v3', e.g., 'from auth0.authentication import GetToken'.

ImportError: cannot import name 'Auth0' from 'auth0.v3.management'

The 'auth0.v3' namespace was removed in version 4.0 of the auth0-python library.

fix

Update import statements to use the new structure without 'v3', e.g., 'from auth0.management import Auth0'.

AttributeError: module 'auth0' has no attribute 'v3'

The 'auth0.v3' namespace was removed in version 4.0 of the auth0-python library.

fix

Update import statements to use the new structure without 'v3', e.g., 'from auth0.authentication import GetToken'.

TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable

In version 5.0.0, Management API responses were changed from dictionaries to Pydantic models, affecting how responses are accessed.

fix

Update code to access attributes of the Pydantic models directly, e.g., 'response.attribute_name' instead of 'response['attribute_name']'.

TypeError: 'User' object is not subscriptable

In version 5.0.0, Management API responses were changed from dictionaries to Pydantic models, making them non-subscriptable.

fix

Access attributes directly using dot notation, e.g., 'user.id' instead of 'user['id']'.
