REST, create a user?

1

Hi everyone,

I read the tutorial here and managed to login via POSTMAN.

https://frappe.github.io/frappe/user/en/guides/integration/rest_api.html

When I tried creating an user via here

http://mydomain/api/resource/User

got an internal server error

Note: get has not issue, just can’t post

any idea? thanks.

Hi @ericmachine88,

In the body, you need to choose data format as “form-data”, not raw,

The key would be data

and value would be dict of all your info, i.e., {“email":"chris-lin@gmail.com”, “first_name”:“Chris Lin”}

Seems JSON is not correct. Validate JSON via http://jsonlint.com/

What params are you passing in header section ? Try by removing those params.
