Overview

Clerk is the easiest way to add authentication and user management to your Node.js application. To gain a better understanding of the Clerk Backend API and SDK, refer to the Node SDK and Backend API documentation.

Getting started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js v14+

Installation

npm install @clerk/clerk-sdk-node

To build the package locally with the TypeScript compiler, run:

npm run build

Usage

Retrieve your Backend API key from the API Keys screen in your Clerk dashboard and set it as an environment variable in a .env file:

CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_*******
CLERK_SECRET_KEY=sk_******

You will then be able to access all the available methods.

import 'dotenv/config'; // To read CLERK_API_KEY
import clerk from '@clerk/clerk-sdk-node';

const userList = await clerk.users.getUserList();
