What can you build with Users (Okta API)?

Users (Okta API) is a Security API. Developers commonly use security APIs for:

adding multi-factor authentication to your app
validating identity documents and biometrics
monitoring for data breaches and leaked credentials
running background checks and fraud screening
scanning code and infrastructure for vulnerabilities

No authentication required. This API is open — no signup or key needed. Ideal for quick prototypes and public-facing features. Users (Okta API) is free to use, making it a low-risk choice to experiment with.
