Okta APIs generally fall two categories: signing in your users, and managing resources in your Okta org.

API endpoints authenticate your users, challenge for factors, recover passwords, and more.

• The Authentication API controls user accesss to Okta.
• The OpenID Connect & OAuth 2.0 API controls user access to your applications.

REST endpoints configure resources such as users, apps, sessions, and factors when needed.
