…urce server The two Auth0 SDKs both augment the global Express.Request.auth0 type with incompatible shapes, so a web app (@auth0/auth0-express) and a resource server (@auth0/auth0-express-api) cannot share one tsc compilation. Instead of bundling the API, this example calls the existing example-express-api over HTTP. Adds a PORT override to example-express-api so it can run on 3001 alongside this app.

…block ts-node is not used by any script (start/build/test use tsx/tsc/vitest) and the ts-node tsconfig key is read by nothing. Per PR review feedback.

Summary
Adds a new self-contained example,
example-express-web-call-api, demonstrating how to use@auth0/auth0-expressto:audience, andreq.auth0.client.getAccessToken()and call a separate resource server on the user's behalf with aBearertoken.The resource server is the existing
examples/example-express-api(protected by@auth0/auth0-express-api), run as a separate service.example-express-apigains a backward-compatiblePORTenv override so it can run on3001alongside this web app on3000.Tests
src/index.spec.tsfollows the existingexample-express-mcdpattern (MSW + supertest). It mocks Auth0 discovery, JWKS, and the token endpoint (signing real RS256 JWTs withjose) and the downstream API, then drives a full mocked login (/auth/login→/auth/callback) and asserts:audience,/call-apiforwards the access token and renders the API response,/call-apiredirects to login without a session.CI
