Description

When upgrading existing code to the latest SDK (5.x) version there were multiple occasions where I was referencing incorrect fields, but the typescript compiler did not complain because the return types have very broad type definitions:

/** Accepts any additional properties */
[key: string]: any;

One example:

node-auth0/src/management/api/types/types.ts

Lines 20656 to 20657 in 6a0be4b

	/** Accepts any additional properties */
	[key: string]: any;

The correct definitions should be tight enough that when there are changes to the API, the developer will know from the typescript compiler alone that their code is referencing properties which do not exist.

Reproduction

1. Create a query e.g.

// EXAMPLE 1
const { data } = await auth0Client.users.list()
const val = data[0].invalidPropertyThatDoesNotComplain

// EXAMPLE 2
const exportJobInfo = await auth0Client.jobs.usersExports.create({
  connection_id: process.env.AUTH_CONNECTION_ID,
  format: 'json'
})
const exportJobId = exportJobInfo.invalidPropertyThatDoesNotComplain.id

2. Observe as the typescript compiler does not indicate that the fields are not valid
