POST /oauth/introspect

The /oauth/introspect endpoint is used to verify a token and to translate it into claims. Introspection is defined in RFC 7662.

A token can only be introspected by a client within the same merchant, or by a client who is the intended audience, meaning the service domain of the introspecting client must be in the aud claim array. For further information on cross merchant introspection, see Specifying a resource indicator.
