Auth0 Generates a 501 Error When Calling Update or Delete API Endpoints
Last Updated:
Overview
A 501 error occurs when an application calls Auth0 Update or Delete API endpoints because proxy servers or security software block PATCH or DELETE methods. Configure the network environment to allow these HTTP methods to resolve the issue. Auth0 generates a 501 error during API calls to the Auth0 platform API, such as the Authentication API, Management API, or My Account API.

Solution
What resolves the 501 error when calling Auth0 API endpoints?
The 501 error indicates that a server in the routing path does not support or allow the HTTP method used in the request. Review the proxy servers, firewalls, and security software in the network environment to ensure they allow PATCH and DELETE HTTP methods. Configure the network infrastructure to allow these methods for requests to Auth0 APIs.
