KeyCloak – Create Realms/Users/Groups Programmatically?

We’ve decided to move to KeyCloak for our identity and access management solution, rather than implement it entirely within our Java EE web app. We’re creating a multi-tenant solution, and would prefer to create security realms/users/groups programmatically through our workflow, rather than leveraging KeyCloak’s self-registration functionality or web UI so that we can do things like grab credit card details for payment, etc. I know that we could likely leverage the admin REST APIs to accomplish this, but I wasn’t sure if there was a simpler way to do it besides hand-coding REST calls. Does KeyCloak provide an admin client library that we could use? Or are we stuck implementing a REST client for the admin APIs ourselves?

Answer

I found some info around the KeyCloak Java Admin Client. This gist has lots of useful examples showing how to managed users, realms, etc.
